From the looks of it unfortunately it's at the lowest setting. Maybe raise the rear to fix the rake

Can you tune the Foxes with different rate springs like you can on the Kings and are the King Springs the same diameter as the Foxes? Might have to go that direction to get your height down?

Do you have a better picture of the center slider? It looks very strange in the picture and also very large.

Looks like you'll need softer springs to get the ride height down. Those are prob setup more for a heavy 4 door JKU.

Yep, of course you can. That's a solid idea because he's definitely not going any lower with the spring rates he currently has installed.

OP do you have a better picture of how your timing ring is set in relation to the slider?

Is that a helper spring in between both coils?

If they are 12" coilovers, usually in the front of a JK you would be using 12" top and bottom springs.

Edit, just searched that eibach part number for the black helper spring you have in between both silver coils.... I don't get that one, I would personally ditch it, put a regular coiler slider like one offered by AGM in there and that will give you a little bit more room to adjust the ride height on you fronts. I can't grasp the purpose of that for your application.

Yes, those would be it. You don't NEED those, just a suggestion. Kick out the helper spring first and foremost and see where it settles and go from there.
