Not an exact answer, but I have 2.5 drop McGaughy's that I just put on my truck. I had to grind the lower A-Arm a little, grind the steering knuckle more than I would have liked, and the clip on wheel weights didn't stand a chance. I haven't got the truck back on the road yet, but the wheels are bolted on and spin freely. This is with old school 15 inch Cragars.

I would say if the spindles are all you are doing for now, get the 2 inch ones and make sure they have a good return policy. I bought mine at the start of a 4 month build project and have grinded them to fit, so I am pretty much married to mine.
