what does a longer rear suspension link do other than raise the ride height up an inch?

Up?

Are you sure it raises the ride height and not lowers it? What bike is this for?

Raising the ride height will definitely alter the steering geometry of the bike as well, making it sharper turning, and probably less stable at speed and over whoops and braking bumps.

You'd probably want to somehow raise the forks by the same amount to compensate.

When you use a lowering link, this can be compensated for by dropping the forks in the triple clamps.
