Second Guessing My Plan Now

So yesterday I changed all 4 ball joints on my 85 and cut a coil out of the front springs and really like where the front sits now. With a coil cut theres about 3 inches of space between the 275/60/15 tire and the lip of the fender..

Today while cruising CL I found a axle flip kit and was going to install it tomorrow, but now I'm wondering if it's going to set my rear lower than the front. The rear is sitting really high right now and needs to come down, but will a flip drop it too much with just a coil cut up front ?

I'm wondering since I have 4 leafs and a helper spring if I should just do the flip or maybe just remove a spring or two ?

I'll use the kit one way or another and I have a few sets of leafs laying around I could swap in minus a leaf or two till I get drop spindles later to use with the flip kit. Am I stressing over it too much ?
