I want 3” lower than the pics i posted all around i think
So, if I'm understanding you correctly, you're looking for a 4" total drop in front from stock (based on the fact you have 1" drop springs installed already).? If yes, then it seems you may need to replace those drop springs with 2" drops, and also add 2" drop spindles. With that, you'll also need different shocks, or you can install shock re-locaters.
