Alright, my hoe is bagged and the front looks great. The inner fenders have been raised and it will tuck 22's. I have 20's on it and they tuck about 1.5 inches of rim. Anyway, the rear is like an inch from tucking. I have not cut the floor and do not want to. I will be able to get it as low as I want with a standard c-notch, but the plastic fill neck coming out of the back of the fuel tank is in the way of the rear-end housing raising up as it needs to. What kind of gas tank should I use, or am I gonna have to get one made that mounts behind the rear-end? I dont want to cut the floor or fill the tank from inside the truck. This is my daily and I have 2 lil kids. THANKS

maybe a burban tank or a fuel cell

I don't really want to use a fuel cell, because I dont want to have to fill the tank from inside my truck, if it was pic-up, I would mount it under the bed, and fill it trough the flor of the bed, but this is a bit different, cause mt lil kids ride in there, and I dont want them breathing in any gas that may get spilled. I know someone has dealt with this, as many bagged tahoes and burbans as there are.

use a gas tank from a 95 or newer 2 door s10 blazer. put it under the rear floor where the spare tire used to be. you should be able to use a sending unit from the s10 and put the tahoe fuel pump in that sending unit.

My old 99 Yukon had a 5/7 drop w/ a c-notch welded in...and had no problems w/ the gas filler neck. And it was on 20s.

Here is a pic...and this is a static drop and I drove it daily w/ no problems. still had 2 or 3" of rear travel before it bottomed out.

get a fuel cell cut a hole in the floor and call it a day we did one and it was about 400 in parts i think
