McGaughys 63156 Front Disc Brake Kit work with Belltech spindles?

[zipper]

Sorry to thread jack GAc10boy, but I have a question that I feel could be answered in this thread. Currently I have 15's and if I were to use a belltech 3' drop spindles vs a McGaughy 2.5' drop spindle, would the 3' spindle create an issue with rubbing the wheel? Or is the rubbing with 15' wheels everyone talks about just caused by the control arm?

The rubbing is caused by the wheel.
A 15" wheel with more than 3.5" of backspacing and drop spindles.
2.5" and 3" both cause issues.

So is a 3' any worse than a 2.5' spindle?

Not really.
Either way you need to trim the lower a-arm to provide clearance around the lower balljoint on the a-arm lip.
