72 c10 flip kit/drop springs

I just installed a DJM flipkit - c notch -new rear springs on the rear and 2 1/2 drop spindles and 2"Big Block lowering springs. I currently have 245/60/15 on front and 275/60/15 on rear my plans are to put a set of 20's on it but would like to get it to sit alittle more level first. Thinking I might have to install a taller front spring any other ideas??

The front are big block 2" lowering springs with 2 1/2 drop spindles purchased from earlyclassic the rear are new stock leafs with overload removed and DJM flip kit. Thinking I may order wheels and tires and make height adjustments after that.
