Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:
50 PSI is way too much for a typical MTB. They will be able to recommend you a better value at the shop or you can use one of the online calculators, such as the one by SILCA . If they are replacing the fork for you for a new one, they can surely put the stem higher. Tell them in advance though, otherwise they might cut the steerer too short according to your current position. A stem of a different length might be in order to account for the change in the distance of the handlebars.
