One problem with bending the arm is that you change the lever and therefore the steering effort.
I would do it like Jonny did, combine steering rack spacers (I think you can fit 10-11mm ones without creating interference) with a proper bump steer kit. The height of the spacers you then need on the spindle arm is so short that the forces will not be able to bend the bolt.
Cheers,

Lukas: I had my car up on the lift today and eyeballed the steering arms. They actually bend up a little bit so the they are roughly parallel to the ground when the wheels are pointed straight ahead--remember the caster of the car is about 6 degrees.
If I were to bend the arm down 19mm, to offset raising the spindle the same amount, it will very slightly increase the length of the lever, rather than shorten it. But given the length of the arm, that change in leverage would be imperceptible at the steering wheel.
I may try it this winter.
