First of all Welcome to the board from Al.

I think I would keep the trailing arms and try the bags. I use coilovers but the bags may work. It depends on how low you want to go as far as cutting the bed floor out! I would suggest an adjustabe pan hard bar. I would use a slam bag. the bag is shorter than a coilover so you could go lower than a coilover. I would put the bags behind the rear axle and make an upper crossmember.
