Bagged NBS Tahoe/Yukon's enter

[01rgncy]

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.

Looks good. Cant wait to see it down all the way. Where are the shocks for the front?

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.

have you done the free travel mod on the rear yet?

 

[01rgncy]

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.

Prob gonna have to c notch the frame

 

[groundscr8pr]

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.

 

[01rgncy]

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.

I want to go really low with my Tahoe. I'm not going to bag my ride, but I dig this thread. Please post more pics and details as your build continues!

Not much of an update but I was forced to redo the back quicker than I thought. One of the sleeve bags that was used pulled apart so I took it apart and made new cups and used the second set of bags I got as spares back there. Made the cups too tall so now it's high in the back and need to cut them down.

@groundscr8pr I made these up last week. Do you think there would be a problem using them.

Looks like a great modification for the RLCA, nice job. Be cool to see how those will work. Should get better clearance from frame just by using round bar. If they don't, you could always make your own RLCA relocation brackets, if you don't wanna buy them (which I've always thought were ridiculously expensive for that they are) if you needed help, lmk and I can try and get you dimensions from mine. But would be easy to make. Only 3 pieces of Steele welded together and holes for bolts.

Here's a pic of my set-up and can see I have plenty of room. Adjustable LCA with relocation brackets.

Everytime I see a bagged ride, makes me wanna bite the bullet and just do it.

Nice! Looks like you be tuckin.....

 

[01rgncy]

@ WHITEOUT I'll be installing them next weekend hopefully so we'll see how that goes. Looks like they should work just fine and give me much more clearance.

@ Sicko Yes sir the front tucks pretty good. Up close it looks like more, my yard slopes down from the driveway so you can't tell.

 

[groundscr8pr]

yeah man!! those look like they will do the trick!
