Raising the rear 1 inch with longer shocks will change the handling a bit but I would get too excited and expect a drastic effect. That in conjunction with a raised/remodelled seat may do the trick for a taller rider. I would also be thinking of slightly taller bars as long as the cables still work or get longer cables and taller bars to really get a good fit. The taller bars will offer more knee room and a more comfy reach for the arms. A taller seat will offer a better position for long legs.
