You should be able to adjust the collar for 2.5" lift yes, but you'll have to take them off the truck and compress the spring to do so.
Where are the tires rubbing ?

No mark, Fox 2.0's typically come preset for 2" of lift for most applications. So you need 2-3 full turns in the adjusters to achive 1/2" more. but depending where you have the rubbing lifting the CO might be a moot point. that's why if you show some pics where the tires are rubbing we can give you some ideas.

That's interesting. so it's rubbing the fender lip at the top? Cranking up the coilover may not fix that cause it seems that's happening when your suspension fully compress? Are you jumping the truck? Do you have longer front sway bar links?
What's the part# on your Fox 2.0 CO's?
I would have expected that to happen with 5100 or 6112 as they're stock length struts. Fox 2.0 COs should bump higher in their stroke since theyre or should be longer than stock.

Correct Its happen when tires fully compressed and No front sway it just stock
With 2.0 fox ifp kit
I think if lifted to 2.5 inch thats properly will fix the problem

The CO is still compressing the same if you went from 2 to 2.5". Call Fox and show them the pictures. You can address that with a bumptop extension which we dont have, hoping Fox could do something about it or you could add a 1/2" top spacer. Wolf makes one. But let Fox now about this.
To you give an idea
Bilstein 5100/6112 length are 22.08" extended, 16" compressed. This is stock strut length in the DT truck.
Fox 2.0 for your application are 22.79" extended, 17.39" compressed. Part# for your application is 985-02-136. They're almost 1.5 longer on compression and should be more than enough to keep 35's away from the fender lips.
Even if you got the 1500 DS Fox 2.0 Coilover by mistake 22.42" extended, 17" compressed they will still be 1" longer.
