I don't really want to mess with adjusting airbags. It can be cold outside in the winter. I could go to the on-board air compressor but don't want the expense.
Having said that, I decided to go with Timbrens. The problem was trying to buy them. No one in Anchorage had them in stock. Amazon won't ship them to Prime to Alaska. I sent my good buddy Jeff an email and they don't know why either, but they haven't changed anything on them yet. I contacted Timbren and they said they only weigh 9# in a 8.5" x 10.5" x 6" box. Amazon won't ship those Prime, but they will ship the six gallons of oil for free that I just ordered.
You should see my list of all the vendors I went through trying to find someone that will ship them for a decent cost. My list has 32 vendors on it. Some of them wanted $130 to ship them to Alaska - probably the same people that fell asleep in school and think Alaska is a foreign country....
Anyway, Summit Racing would ship them to Alaska for $18 parcel post or for $2 more, for $20 they'll ship them 2nd day. Summit has my order.
I had forgotten about Timbrens when I posted my question, so I thank the various posters for mentioning them.
