anyone bagged one?

Bout to bag my 07 and wanted to know if anyone has been down this road.. going with an extensive front kit which I'll be running 26's ..the rear is where I have questions i as thinking bags behind axle and still run a 2 link with pan hard bar ..I know it's not going to be easy helped bag couple trucks but tahoe's are a different story

yes, I'm bagged, and a few others as well. A few of us run the Kelderman bolt on kit. The rear bags replace the springs. Haven't seen one with the bags behind the axle (I don't think) but if you do, you'll need to cut your bump stop brackets to get the frame to rest on your axle.

do yourself a favor run the trailblazer ss airbags.

Sit lower than other brands out there at ride height
can tow 6500 pounds
and only 150 bucks
bolt in deal

from my old post...
Well this has been going on for a while and its a hit or miss on the trucks and today did a 07 and a 09 (posting pics a little later) and BOTH have the notches in rear for the trailblazer ss airbags. So if any of you guys want to airbag the back of your 07 up gm suv just check to see if your oem upper mounts have these 3 slots. GM used the same brackets for the trailblazer ss as the tahoes and vise versa. All you would need to do is get a 06 up trailblazer ss airbag kit and a 5/32 hose which connects to the trailblazer ss air bag then run a 5/32 to a 1/4 inch adapter and your set.

You can get trailblazer ss airbags for about 150 new from ebay and the fittings are cheap.

Now when installing these airbags ride height is about a 2.5 to 3 inch drop on the 07 up tahoe and then you can let all the air out and the axle will sit on the frame. You will need the djm links and my bumpstops which are 110 shipped or you can do the djm hardware kit and my bumpstops and they are 190 shipped that way you can slam it.

If you guys have any questions feel free to ask.

Here is a pic of the upper bracket on the tahoe which makes the tbss airbag a bolt in deal



on the right you can see the trailblazer ss airbag ears up top which spin right in

Might be a stupid question - the bags replace the springs right? So no springs, just bags? Hows the ride? I'm running the Belltech 4" drop springs now but need another inch. Cutting the brackets off whenever I have a few minutes so that wont be an issue.

I take it as you are going to lay it on the ground? I ask b/c you mentioned emw front kit. plus the 2 link with panhard. If you are not i don't believe you will need the emw kit.

Fiatdale, The bag setup rides great. Yes replaces spring (unless doing helpers for towing). Also gives you adjust ability.

Its so cheap for the setup I think I may go bags and sell my 4" Springs. What kind of pressure - unloaded (not towing), do you guys run to ride nice?

Thanks Brandon!

on the trailblazer ss airbags at ride height its about 60 lbs and will be a 4 inch drop

So would you say do the spring, or do the bags?

its up to you. the drop spring will ride lower at ride heeight.

here is a pick of my custom 4/6 kit

Ive gone back and forth on those springs for a while now. My front has the 2" spindle, plus the eibach spring, and Im on 22's. My gap up front is much bigger than that. I really just want it to ride as good as it can.

Sorry to the OP for hijacking.
