No! If the relative lengths of the control arms and the steering tie rod are correct (and the bump steer is correct at one ride height), shifting the rack height will only ruin a bump steer curve. If it is a poor original design, with incorrect relative lengths, it might be necessary to raise or lower the rack a little, but nowhere near the change in ride height.
