drop spindles from belltech- needs some opinions

I dropped my truck this weekend and now my tire rubs on the fender lip. I take it that these drop spindles pushes the wheel out slighty? Also has any of you guys used belltech's spindles? I'm thinking I will have to roll the fender lip for clearance but before I do, I wanted to see what you guys think of it. any help would be greatly appreciated
have great week guys!

from what I have heard and seen myself, the Belltechs push out the wheels a 1/2" that's why im gonna go with DJM spindles

that's what I may need to do. I just hate having brand new spindles on only to pull them off and get another set. I may need to just go ahead and roll the lip some and get the djm spindles. at least it would be a quick swap since I won't have to compress the springs.

for a 93 gmc c1500.

I got everything under control now. I had to bend the fender lip all the way up into the wheelhouse to clear. Now I don't have any issues there now.
