IF you front end is still stock ( the bottoms of the "cowbells" will be almost even with the fender top- see pic below), then you may swap to 13" shocks from another touring model.
If your front is lowered, you should NOT raise the rear, rake and trail will be off
take off 13's are cheap and work well- i know there are $600 options but i find the stock shocks work well and are easy to tune.
If buying used, the -09 suffix on the part number are better. ensure that the seller has stored them upright and sealed to retain the oil fill.
the bike on the left is lowered 1" in the front, the one on the right is stock height:
