Default raising kits--do they make them?

do they make a kit that can be added to the shock, like the lowering kits, that will raise up the shock about an inch. I've searched everywhere and can't find any. the bike has progressive shocks 11" on 2006 street glide we put new 18" wheels on 160's and now it rubs inside of fender and burned the wires. he wants to keep the progressives on.

I think he should put 12" or higher shocks on.

My .02 is 11" shocks on a SG would give little or NO travel. Stock on SG is 12" Shocks. I have seen up to 13.5" shocks from Progressive. Never heard of kit to raise the ride height. You may be SOL...
