Default Dyna leans too much after upgrades

I have a serious lean on my 2005 Dyna FXDC due to 13.5" rear shocks and Over 2" tubes in front. Same setup/height as a FXDX. Now I think I need a new kickstand either 1" higher or change it to a FXDX kickstand (which is $250+ at Harley dealership) and/or an aftermarket kickstand but can't seem to find one.

Any suggestions or advice?

I don't think the FXDX jiffy will help you out much. I have an '04 FXDP, which comes stock with 13.5" shocks, 2" longer fork tubes & the "Jiffy Stand - Long" (49710-94B), and that sucker leans like it's gonna fall over! I rest it on a section of 2X4 with a piece of 3/4" plywood nailed on top in the garage, & carry a hockey puck in the bag for when I have to stop on soft ground or hot pavement. Haven't been able to find a pre-made Jiffy long enough to stand it up better. I don't trust a re-weld, & dislike the look of an add-on puck - spring's a bit weak so afraid it'd drop while riding with the extra weight anyway.

Thanks Greezy Rider. I was actually looking at this. The bolts seems super tiny for a 600 plus pound bike. Got a pic of it on your bike?

My Internet is down right now, but I'll send you a pic as soon as I get it back on.
The bolts look small but they're plenty strong.
Just use a couple of drops of red when you put it on the bike.
Mine works great.

Sure, see attached. First pic is the lean I get with the OEM Long Jiffy. Second is what I want. If you can find a Jiffy that approximates the lean in pic #2, I'd sure appreciate a note! tks
