What have i done wrong here????

I am very new to the whole lowering and drop spindle areas. I swapped out my complete front cross member lug to lug off my 69 1/2 ton with a 79 2wd blazer.I installed 3 inch Belltech drop spindles on the front and 5 inch drop coils on the back. Now when i try to bolt up a 15 inch wheel the lower side of rim is hitting the bottom of the spindle as is the the outer tie rod end hitting the front inner side of the rim.Could anybody help me out on this one....Up front thanks

With a 3 inch dropped spindle your gonna have to run a bigger wheel to clear everything. You will probably have to run at least an 18 inch wheel.
