Default Higher Kick Stabd

Is there an easy way to raise the height of the kick stand on an ‘08 Street Bob? Any advice is appreciated.
(Sorry, spelled stand wrong!)

Maybe there's something helpful to you in there...

F86, thanks. Will look at the thread. Saw it before but did not look because of the reference to shocks in the title.

Looked at the thread F86 suggested. The block is 1” wide and would work well with the longer shocks. But my shocks are stock and Would raise the bike too close to vertical. May contact the manufacturer to find out if a smaller block is available, I need only 1/2” maximum.

Take the kickstand off. Put it in a vise or take it to a shop and have it straightened a little like Blue Bob says
