Shorter dogbone have less leverage, so effective spring-rate at rear-wheel through linkage and swing-arm length is higher than longer dogbone. While dogbones can be used to adjust height, it's not ideal because their length is linked to effective spring-rate as well.

To adjust ride-height without affecting spring-rate or any kind of damping, you want to change upper mounting-point of shock.
