Anyone have before/after results for CPP 1” drop springs?

Looking at the space between the rear tire to fender, and the front tire to fender distance, I’d like to drop the front another inch or two.

I already have 3” dropped A-arms, and don’t want to screw up the wheel alignment too bad, but sitting 1” lower would look better...

Do the 1” springs give 1” drop?
Is it possible that the stock springs are already weak, (factory BB truck) and by installing the 1” drop spring may have no drop at all?

Thanks!

perhaps this might help a little - I just installed CPP 2" drop springs in the front of my '72 C10 and it dropped me exactly 1-1/2 inches. It's only been one week so their might be more settling in the future.
