Spindel question.

Bought a truck with a fatman mustang 2 suspention and it was installed but forgot to mill the spindels down so i cant get the barrings on them. I know its a 2.5 drop and wondered if i went to napa if the stock mustang 2 spindel have a 2.5 drop on them and i could swap them out insted of milling these one i have down.?????

Why do you have to mill the spindles for the bearings?
