With a 2" drop spindle and 15's you will scrape the LCA. Not by much but is will scrape off any inboard wheel weights you have installed. I have seen guys who have "shaved" the LCA down and fit it fine with out getting into the "notched" territory

The wheel wells on these trucks are so big that a little bigger wheel looks pretty good. The tire & wheel in my avatar is 245 60R18 on an 18x8 wheel and I have all kinds of clearance on my LCA with a 2" drop spindle.
