Default Fork extension?

Hey everyone
i just got my Harley and it the front end is way to low, i scrape if i barely go over anything, i re-adjusted the rear shocks and raised it, but it looks like he has collapsed the front end?, the forks are really only showing about 2-3 inches of area able to absorb shock? is there any way he just collapesd them and i able to re-extend them? or has it all been changed

Thanks from Hawaii !

It's been lowered quite a bit, depends on if the tubes were changed. Most likely the tubes are -2 with a 2"lowering in the ft if so you can remove the tubes take off the top cap and put a longer spacer in there to increase the lenth and travel ..if they are -4 tubes then you would have to change the tubes

What is the best way to figure out if they are -2 or -4?
and if he added a 2" lowering kit in the front how can i remove that? or remedy it?
