What lowering spring should I buy. Cut springs aren't low enough

I want to lower the front of my truck more. Currently have Moog BB springs that are cut 1.5 coils. When I put the springs in new to replace the stock woren out springs, I cut them one coil and the ride was good. Now that I have cut more to lower the front more, I have reached the point of diminishing returns with the ride quality. I have shorter bump stops and I am not bottoming out.

Current suspension setup is CPP lowering spindles(2.5"), cut coils and a rear flip. Wanting to lower the truck another 1" in the rear and lower the front so it has the slightest rake. I think a 3" lowering coil will get me there or really close.

Anyone have 3" springs that can comment on ride quality and which ones they went with? I searched but could not come up with any good answers.

Thanks
