Sequential Printing and Toolchanges

I'm doing a sequential printing with tool changes.  Looking for help on how to lower the bed out of the way during a tool change to avoid collisions with already printed parts.  

Aka the tool head clears all other objects when printing, but when it goes to do a tool change when starting the next part the bed raises back up to zero to start the next part, but in doing so it raises all of the other already printed parts up into the way of doing the tool change 

 

What I'd like to do is before the tool change lower the bed say 50mm, then do the tool change, then raise back up 50mm and continue printing.

I know I can do custom gcode for tool changes, but I'm not sure how to make it move out off the way, and wait until the tool head comes back before raising back up and resuming printing. 

Thanks in advance.
