Raising roll center with minimal modifications

Raising roll center with minimal modifications
I have a 2007 with square 245s and a CR front sway bar, everything else is OEM. I am looking to further increase the front roll stiffness, and am considering lower ball joint spacers.
1. Does anyone make a simple roll center adjuster/spacer without an offset ball joint? I am not interested in running more aggressive static camber, as my car is 100% street driven. Also I would like to stay with the OEM ball joints and as many other OEM parts as possible.
2. I assume that spacing up the lower ball joint would also effect the bump steer, since it would effectively lower the car the same distance as the spacer thickness. Would a small steering rack spacer be beneficial? Am I diving too far into this and making an issue where there isn't one?
3. Instead of the spacers (or in addition), could I install an offset upper control arm bushings with the hole towards the bottom? This should have about half the effect as the LBJ spacer, but without the bump steer change. Does anyone have any experience with these (do they slip under heavy load)?

Hard race makes a spaced ball joint (p/n 6622).

So given that, bump steer/toe would not be effected.
