stem raiser.... good idea? Or not?

Been suffering some aches across my shoulders since fitting new forks to my rockhopper. I previously had some Tora U-turns on it set at 120mm and had no problems whatsoever. Since the new forks were fitted I get a bad pinched feeling across my shoulders

Steerer is also a lot shorter than the old forks and the new forks are only 100mm. Probably lost 50mm in total in height.

I was thinking of something like this

Good idea?

Any alternatives?

You could get an adjustable stem perhaps? That could raise the stem angle by ~10 degrees or so.

Yeah... did wonder about one of those. Thought they might be a bit flexy by comparison.... or not?
