Bagging my 01 Tahoe Regency, have the front already finished and the back started. It's BOA and doesn't get low for crap. Looking for info on what needs to be done to get it as low as possible without cutting the floor out. Looking for you guys that have done this already and know what needs to be done. I've thought about just doing the free travel mod and some djm trailing arm brackets but would like feedback or opinions. Pics would be great if anyone has any.

Post up some pics of the completed front. Did you go custom on the front or use those Shockwave things? How low were you able to get the front?

Went custom, no kits. Used a standard torsion bar kit, DJM lower arm modified and a set of denominator II #2500 bags. Lays on the front cross member now cause the back doesnt go any lower. Have no more travel room for the lower trailing arms and need to cut the bump stop material off.

Haven't installed the shocks yet. I have the parts from ekstensive just haven't had time. Here's a pic of it aired completely out. That's as far down as the back goes right now.

No, need to do that still but even if I did trailing arms are maxed out against the frame. Was gonna order the djm kit with the trailing arm brackets but that's all I'm gonna use so don't wanna waste money might just try and make some custom bar mounts instead.

you could try making new lower bars with a curve in them for frame clearance. maybe do custom bag mounts the get them lower and clear the floor also.

Intended to notch the frame already and as far as bag mounts, I was thinking of going with behind axle brackets. The people who had originally started this build for me said they would move my gas tank and move the bars inside and put bag on bar. But after having the truck for three months and not doing anything to it besides screw it up so I took it on myself. So I'm just trying to figure out what would work best for me. Reason I can't give up room inside is I have a wall built for my speakers and I don't wanna take it out to cut through the floor.
