Default 3 inch drop coil spring for single cab?

Ive been looking for a 3 inch drop coil spring for a single cab and all i get is 2 inch. most offer the 3 inch for ex cabs and crews but its the same part number listed as the 2 inch spring for a single cab. There has to b someone that sells it for a single cab?

I used a belltech 3" from an extended cab kit and it measured out to be about a 3" drop.

How did u get the 3/5 what parts were used? The pic with the 17s is the stance I'm looking for. I was looking for 3 inch front drop spring and I think a flip kit will do on the rear. My bed is light the 6 inch drop might just put me at 5 in rear

For the back i had hangers, shackles and clamped overloads. If i were to do it again i would defiantly do flip kit with a 1" lift shackle instead. A notch would be a good idea too.

Edit: Hangers and 3" shackles would work too, but let me warn you right now, installing hangers is miserable. I have done it on two trucks and hope to not have to grind another off any time soon.
