are you planning to keep the big truck front end? or switch to a 1/2 3/4 1 ton front clip? if you are going to keep the big front:

most of the trailblazer swaps i have seen on here widen the front with big truck fenders, so that might be a good fit.

and his name escapes me but he built a coe (same size front end) on an ext cab silverado frame and his wheels fit (barely), so a tahoe probably would too.

explorer is definitely going to be a pickle to bag.

for using the stock frame it may be possible but I think its at least 10 inches tall on the loadmaster/big trucks. you mentioned bags, that would sure hold you off the ground a bit.

no matter what flavor you pick, you have guys here who will throw in their two cents (as you already have seen haha) so give us something to look at once in a while!
