clutch pedal will come up 2-3 inches off the ground but not all the way
I replaced my clutch with a diaphragm clutch and now it seems my adjustment rod is not long enough, because without it popping the clutch fork off I can’t have it go any farther

....
I have already removed the over center spring,
Does the PP release the disc at all?
I'm not a diaphragm clutch guy but isn't it common for the peddle to be low. Some complain the peddle flops around when the release is set right.
Caution, you may need to make sure you are not driving the fingers into the disc or bending them due to over adjusting.

BTW, It's the OC spring that pulls the peddle up to the top with a B&B clutch not the PP. When pushing the peddle down the spring assists in the effort. So the spring works in both directions depending on which side if "center" it's on.
