The shock adjusters are a continous thread, so liosen both rings and start turning, lock both rings (jam nut type) when you reach your final adjustment. Also there are two shock position mounts for top of each shock. By moving shocks out to stand up straighter you will gain a good extra inch or a little more. The rear sway var must be removed to stand up the rear shocks, but I found NO issues when I removed mine. In fact I like the handling better with the shocks moved out. After moving my shocks out I backed off the spring tension about an inch to give a little softer ride, but still gained about 1.25 in overall in ht.
