look at getting a stem with a lower profile..(if possible) Sic stems are super low, and might give you the extra room you need. Measure everything first, and check out the sick website (or call them) to see if it will work.

From two quick google searches

King stack
1- 1/8": 31.4mm

Head Tube Length
small---medium--large
4.725" 4.725" 4.725"

this should help you find a stem that will fit.

oh yeah... i also had a short steerer tube issue. Tall stem, king + tazer. I had to frequently tighten my stem as it work loose. I ended up using a headlock.
