disc brake conversion 1947

Hi y'all,
I am in process of converting my 1/2 ton PU to disc brakes. I bought the ECI kit but have run into a problem. When mounted per instructions to the rear of the spindle it the calipers can't clear the tie rod....has anyone else run into this and what was your work around. Also, is there any reason not to mount the calipers to the front where there is plenty of room?
