Need help getting lower in the front..

at the moment I'm running 2600's and a 3" spindle with a 28" tire, and the front end ie a arms are still a good 2 inches maybe even 2.5 inches off the ground aired out.. see pic..

what would be the best/simplest way of getting the other 2.5" i need... cupping the arms? or is there something else i could do?

Thanks.
