Default GX470 front spacer lift kit comfort/sport control

Hello all,
I'm new here and this topic has probably been covered already so I apologize in advance....
i am wanting to do a strut/shock spacer lift in the front and keep the adjustable comfort control. I am familiar with how the control module is mounted to the top of the strut and when installing the spacer it will no longer make contact with the adjustment pin on top of the strut...
so, has anyone added a spacer lift AND modified the control module on top of the front strut so it can still reach the adjustment pin on top of the strut to still be able to control the comfort/sport setting?

​​​​​​​yes....I know.....I want my cake and eat it too ; )

I was curious about a body lift as well. I currently have a 1” spacer in front and the airbags tricks in the rear to even it out. I don’t want to over tax the rear shocks or airbags to go taller. I noticed toytec advertises a 1” bodylift kit for our trucks but I don’t think the kit accounts for the crash bar in our bumpers or the splash guards in the wheel well. Has anyone done a body lift to a GX and care to give some insight?
