Default Question for someone with an 06 Fatboy

I lowered my 06 Fatboy a couple of years ago. The wife and I are going to take a long road trip next month. With the bags and her on the back, I need to reset my bike the to stock height.
Can someone with a stock height 06 Fatboy measure from the ground up to the rear fender, with the bike standing upright, and tell me the distance?
Thanks,
Travis

Bike straight up, not sitting on it, 14"s from floor to bottom of rear fender. This is with 18" wheels and a 160/60 rear tire. Should be close?

Thanks Kuma,
that should be pretty close, between that the clearance under the bike should get it real close to the stock sitting.
Does anyone have the measurement with stock wheels?
