Not much you can do in the back as far as cutting farther unless you bust out the welder.

Once you get to that little ridge though (where you are currently at), that's where the fender liner and body panel meet. Cut anymore and they no longer meet and then you have mud and **** getting into your cabin.

Yours looks good the way it is. The wheel wells are even. I think they look goofy as **** when the front wheel wells are ****in massive and then you have little baby wheel wells in the back.
Are you rubbing the fronts at all? If not, leave it. If so, bump stop that *****. Unless you like the look of it the other way.

Bump stop the rear? Lift it higher? If you want to do some fab work or don't care about mud getting in, then cut away. lol

You mean like mine? Ha.

Front and rear full stuff pics. I guess goofy is code for functional. I dont particularly care about the asthetics obviously but i understand those who want to take that into consideration. Just showin you what i have.

Cutting the rear past the spot welds isn't just a problem for mud getting in, its also structural. That connects the wheel well to the quarter panel.
