Raise Boom/Shorten sail

Thoughts pro or con regarding raising the boom 8 inches at the mast and having the main sail shortened. Reason: The sail in in for cleaning and repair, so good time to consider this. Raising the boom would prevent many head bangings upon entering the companionway and also provide more space for a larger bimini. The boat is a 31'' and we do not race it. Would it affect control or sailing and if so how?
