I believe raising the rear of the bike decreases the rake and trail of the front forks and front wheel, respectively. That increases the steering quickness and decreases straight-line stability.
With the change you're proposing for the rear it's hard to tell whether you'd notice the related/inherent changes in the front geometry.
+1 Yup-what he said ! Will slightly put more weight on the front end too,however if the shocks have a lighter spring rate the longer shock length could be a wash.
