Default 11" shocks too low - options?

just put 11" progressives on the bike and it is just too low for me. Stock on the Lowrider is 12"
Understand these shocks are adjustable although does that change the height or just the stiffness?
Paperwork from Progressive doesnt spell this out well.

Any help would be appreciated.

Any height change will be minimal. Mostly for ride stiffness.

If you want to get rid of the 11" shocksI would be interested in taking those off your hands...

The adjustment on them is to adjust stiffness. I dont think it will affect ride height. I have the 11" 412's also, why do you think they are to low?

I'll take the 11" Progressives off your hands if you are getting rid of them!

If you watch the back of the bike as you adjust the shocks you can clearly see that it does in fact raise the rear.When I was playing with mine it looked like there was about 3/4" of adjustment. I'd at least try the adjustment before you sell a brand new set of shocks, at a loss probably.
