Well I am not familiar with that specific front sight setup as I have the older 3" SP. However I bet a quick call to Ruger might help you out? If they don't have a shorter sight they might have another option that would make you happy.
Finally, there is always the option of lowering the front sight yourself (file it) or having a gunsmith do it for you? A decent smith could do it in short order (while you wait???) and wouldn't charge much for such a simple operation.

RUGER DOES NOT OFFER ANOTHER SIGHT AND THE FRONT SIGHT IS FIBER OPTIC. I CUT THE FIBER OPTIC OFF BUT IT LOOKS LIKE U KNOW WHAT, UGLY AND NOT PRACTICAL

I hated the fiber optic front sight on my 4.2" SP-101. I emailed Ruger, told them I damaged the front sight and needed a replacement. They sent one free of charge so I cut the fiber optic part off to make a low profile patridge sight. Looked great but it was much too low and shot over a foot high even with the rear cranked all the way down.
I was going to build it up with weld and grind it down but I gave up altogether and got rid of the gun. I now have a 3" fixed sight SP-101 but I haven't even had the chance to shoot it

Hmmmm. Well that is unfortunate. What about a taller rear sight leaf? Have you called Ruger to discuss the issue? They DO want you to be satisfied.
Good luck!

NO TALLER RS BLADE FROM RUGER EITHER. TO FIX THE PROBLEM WILL REQUIRE SOME MACHINING AND A "PLAN" OR A READY TO GO CUSTOM SIGHT. WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR IS SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM SO I DON'T HAVE TO REINVENT THE WHEEL.
NOTICE HOW THIS THREAD STARTED WITH WOW I AM GOING TO GET ONE OR I GOT ONE (THE NEW AS SP101 327) BUT THEN NO REPORTS ON HOW IT SHOOTS, WONDER WHY? IF SOMEONE OUT THERE IS NOT HAVING ELEVATION PROBLEMS, WHAT ARE YOU USING?
