Default Roadking raise

I just bought 2010 Road King and the guy had it lowered. He said I have all the parts to raise it back up. I have the rear shocks and some long fork springs I know I need new seals. What else, parts wise do I need?

Fork oil. I would go ahead and change it while you do the front springs.

Unless your seals are bad, no need for new seals to swap fork springs. But as mentioned, new fork oil is always good idea.
If you have some extra dough to spend, you might consider Progressive Monotubes. A nice fork upgrade that's no more work than changing springs.
