Depending on the year of your GL there may or may not be a swingarm stop that will hamper you putting on a taller shock.
I put 14" (1" over stock) on my 82 G and have put over 15000 miles on them. So far my drive-shaft and rear end is just fine. I bought them because they were sold out of the stock length and these were half off.
I would be hesitant to raise the back by more than 1 inch though. With a shaft drive bike you are limited. Alternately you could lower the front forks in the triples, but not by too much.
Be aware that you will change the steering geometry of the bike when you start changing the ride heights. By raising the back, (or lowing the front) you are increasing the rake which will quicken the steering, but could make the bike unstable at high speeds.
