Softail rear height
I have a '95 Fatboy on which the front and rear had been lowered.
I have now raised the front end back to standard and now need to do the same for the rear.
Are the standard rear softail shocks adjustable for height as well as level of damping, or would they need to have changed the shocks for different ones?
The change would have been done in about 2000, when less after market parts would have been available.

They either used a lowering kit on the rear shocks http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rear-Lowerin...24b0ca&vxp=mtr or just adjusted the mounts fully extended. If the latter you can just wind them back in, if its got a kit then you'll need to take it off and repalce with stock mounts.

You undo the locknut and adjust the length of the shock arm....longer = lower, shorter = higher
