        shorter dogbones, basically just the opposite of lowering links, which are longer...

            Buy shorter ones. It's safer.

                You can also replace the shock with one from a Bandit 1200. It will raise the rear about 1.5".

                    I think I noticed on CP's list of supplies, he sells dogbones which will raise the rear about 1.5".

                          He can make links for raising or lowering.

                          As for changing them, you can do it at home with a few tools.
