It depends on how low you want to go. If you want to bag it and have a moderate drop (5-6") in the rear the stock trailing arms will work just fine. I personally wouldn't waste my money on tubular ones, just reinforce your stock ones, if they even need it. The simpliest thing to do IMO is to mount bags where your stock springs are now. A lot of people on here have done it that way and probably have some pointers for ya. I'm running a 2-link with a panhard bar, similar to the stock setup, but my arms run on the outside of the frame rails.
