just wondering, with a 3" lift does that mean 3"lifted when binded?
or 3" of extra coil?
or 3" taller with no stress?

I don't think I or jimbo actually quite understand what you are asking,
A 3" lift is supposed to mean that the car sits in its wheels, at normal load, 3" higher than it did before.
Depending on lots of factors, the springs might be the same free length as the original springs, 3" taller.... anything really. That depends on the springs design and intended use of the car.
It does not mean that when the suspension is compressed (either by striking a bump, or flexing on an obstacle) that the tyre will ALWAYS be 3" further away from the body, in theory, the tyre can move up just as high into the body as it could before the 3" lift was installed.
This means that a 3" lift does not actually allow you to fit any bigger tyres to your car. They will ultimately still rub. bigger tyres require lowering of the bumpstops, body lift or guard cutting to fit. suspension lift can help as it allows acceptable wheel travel to be retained even with the bumpstops lowered to limit compression travel.
Hope this makes sense.
