bagging a burb questions

Ive got no history in lowered vehicles and want to learn. I really wanna put bags in my burb but have no idea what I want to do. I have two burbs, one I would like mostly original but lowered a lil(maybe bags but I dont wanna cut the floor at all), the other I would like to lay frame. so lets see what ya got. any suggestions and ideas are appreciated.

Re: bagging a burb questions

you won't lay frame without cutting into the floor. The front will lay out if you cut the inner fenders but the rear will need to be notched. The more you notch it the lower it will go.

Re: bagging a burb questions

the post said two burbs, one will be just slightly lowered, the other laying frame. Im pretty sure the direction I wanna go is a porterbuilt dropmember. but would like to see other options.

what did you use for your truck? I like the stance of your avatar. I wanna lay frame with my 70 it has no floor. for the front I know I wanna use pb drop member, but dont know what I should do with the rear. just a notch and bag it? or will the trailing arms crossmember and trailing arms cause problems?
