Default front springs

Does anybody make a 1 inch performance spring kinda like a Hotchkis? I know Eibach used to but I cannot find them anymore. I was wanting to drop the front and back to get the tires to fill up the fenderwells. I would go with 2 inch Hotchkis spring but with 285/50/20 tires I dont think I have room. Could I just use a 2 inch extended cab spring and will this correct the "Chevy lean?"

the 2" springs are the same between RC and EC in 99% of cases. In actuallity, the extra cabs just sit a tad lower. like .5 of an inch.

I looked at McGaughy's and Belltech springs, but what is the handling characteristics of the springs? I'm looking for something a little stiffer with more control. Thats why I wanted the Eibach because its a progressive rate spring, but most others I've seen aren't.
