my CC has a ridiculous amount of spacers to get bars level w saddle, the frame is meant to be agressive, be sure you get an uncut fork, stock config has them cut low
one thing I found helpful was to get 40mm spacers, now I only have 2 spacers instead of 8, much less.

how about a touring Troll? better off road, similar cargo compatibility to lht, overbuilt frame, easier to get high handlebars
