You can if you though ahead and left the steering tube long. Of course this doesn't help the OP. You can also get a level of height adjustment through your selection of stems, a Salsa 130° will raise the bars up a good 2-3" (trading off reach for rise).

This is Africa, 1943. War spits out its violence overhead and the sandy graveyard swallows it up. Her name is King Nine, B-25, medium bomber, Twelfth Air Force. On a hot, still morning she took off from Tunisia to bomb the southern tip of Italy. An errant piece of flak tore a hole in a wing tank and, like a wounded bird, this is where she landed, not to return on this day, or any other day.
