I've just popped out and measured the stock ones at 125mm. That was crouching down in the office car park with a plastic ruler, so I'll recheck later, and measure the +35mm ones. Looks pretty safe to say yours is lowered though.
I don't think just lifting it back up will cure your bottoming problems, you've still got the same travel on the shock, the bike will just be a bit higher when it bottoms. The problem is the stock spring is too soft to start with, and gets softer with age/mileage.

Mine are standard at the moment, but will shortly replaced entirely with some KTM/WP 48mm USD's. That's more because I'm silly enough to take mine racing. If I wasn't I'd probably have looked at sticking the hyperpro springs in, because a few people on here have spoken highly of them.

The 613's are just a standard 7/8" braced bar. Exactly the same fit as the OE bars, except that you won't be able to refit the stock bar weights. They're just about OK with the standard throttle cables, any higher and you'd have to get new cables or reroute them behind the top yoke.
