Lost my 3" spacer lift when i switched to fox 2.0 coilovers, what now?

Ok, back in January I went cheap and did a 3" tuff country spacer lift in the front and aal in the rear on my 2016 Tacoma trd off road.... Road like crap, lots of body roll over whoops, clunking shocks that topped out, loose steering, etc...so when I saved enough cash, I replaced the front suspension with fox 2.0 coilovers and matched the back with fox 2.0 shocks. Now instead of having a perfectly level truck, I have too much rake (center hub up to bottom of fender in the front is now 21" and 24" in the rear). So my question is what happened to my front lift, I thought the fox 2.0 coilovers would get me some lift, probably not a full 3", but at least some lift...but at 21" I am back at factory height. I have 2 3/4" thread showing on each front coilover and seem to be getting 0 lift.

I am running Toyo Open Country m/t 285/70r17 tires with zero rubbing (mods were made to gain this clearance).

What is the best route to take to get my truck back close to level? I wouldn't mind some rake, so if I can get front up to 22 or 22 1/2, I would be extremely happy providing I dont lose the ride quality I gained from the fox 2.0's. Can my coilovers be adjusted for more lift? Can/should i add a tiny spacer? Should i remove the rear aal and go back to stock height in the rear? What is my best option?

Thanks guys for any input!!!

Did you get the preload adjusted

I ended up ditching the fox setup altogether and put king 2.5’s on all four corners. Gained the lift I wanted and the ride is 100% better than fox!

I've heard people can adjust the fox w.0 to 3" thats why I'm leaning towards this set up but haven't found much info about that on here maybe it's BS and 2" is the most that can't be achieved. Yeah Kings are king can never go wrong with those

Yeah, I wanted 2.5-3” out of the fox and all the local shops said that was a bad idea, so i bit the bullet and switched it all out. Couldn’t be happier!
