raise rear end?

[Dabz]

seen a few bikes advertised with "jacked up rear end 35mm" or 30mm. I'm from the modified car scene where you lower things, so just wondering if anyone can explain what benefits you get from raising the rear end of a bike?

I guess for quicker turn in? But hey, I'm a salesman so I'm probably talking out of my ar5e! ;)

faster turn in at the expense of stability.
