Headset length / stem adjustment

I have replaced my longtime commuting bike (which is a mountain bike) with another mountain bike, GT Avalanche, also to be used for commuting. The GT requires me to lean over more which is uncomfortable on my neck and back. I have adjusted the seat height correctly.
The stem is as high as it will go on the headset. Can I loosen the top cap bolt and raise the heaset height so that my posture is more upright or do I need to buy a headset that is longer. I think a shorter stem might also help.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Nope. Nope.
New higher rise stem and/or bars are your only options. ( well there are the extenders you can add to the stem as well......)."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
