55 chevy drop spindles

I am rebuilding the front end on a 55 chevy sedan delivery.I have put in new ball joints and all bushings inthe a arms The car came with 2" drop spindles. I put the coil springs in and when I hooked up the spindles they rub on the front of the lower control arm. I have 55 nomad that I rebuilt and I looked at it and there was a 1/2" gap between the spindle and control arm. Could someone tell me what they think the problem is. I appreciate any coments. Bob

If you know who the mfg. of the spindle is, I'd contact them and ask.

Were the spindles on the car before the suspension rebuild? Can you post a picture of the rubbing location?
