Default changeing bars

I want to add about 3 or 4 inches to the height of the stock bars on my 2012 FLHTCU, but i don't know what the stock height actually is.
Can anyone advise?

Stock bars are typically 8".
When you replace cables & brake lines to accommodate taller bars, the cables/ brake lines will be called out as "Plus 4", "Plus 6", "Plus 8".
