Default Question: Lowering Springs

Wanting to buy a coilover set up but since its a bit out of my budget, i decided to settle for some lowering springs instead, the springs i've seen so far are only about a .9-1.5 inch drop..
do they make springs that will drop you lower?
trying to go as low as i can without any rolling

as you can tell, im 4x4'ing

i honestly would save a few more hundred dollars and go with coils. worst mistake i made was installing springs... they are a pain to put on plus with the old struts car rides like H*ll . i picked up a set of megan ez streets for 699 shipped and they ride amazing imo
