I drove 50 miles from Anchorage out towards Portage and it handled beautifully. Absolutely zero sway so I'm guessing I have the perfect amount of air in each bag and its not over inflated. The truck felt much more solid, especially maneuvering around the tight gas station out in Girdwood. I did notice some bucking when I hit some dips so I think I'll forgo the hellwig for now and do the Rancho's. Rides very comfortably now and its level. I am a happy camper.
Great to hear you got the setup that works for you! I can relate to the crazy freight charges and frustration in finding vendors who are willing to work with you on alternative shipping. I've had pretty good luck contacting vendors and requesting they ship to Alaska using USPS Flat Rate boxes. See you on the road this weekend!
USPS is definitely the cheapest, unfortunately there are lots of things that simply cannot be shipped via US Mail. For example, the weight limit of any individual parcel sent USPS cannot exceed 70 lbs, even for flat rate boxes (I work at the USPS PD&C here in Anchorage). I've seen 90 lbs of metal stuffed into those flat rate boxes going out to bush points like Bethel and Aniak but they just get stamped overweight and get returned to the sender. It's amazing how much stuff people cram into those boxes......
But yeah, I'll see you on the roads! Was going to drive out and fish Anchor River/Deep Creek for some King Salmon on Monday but I have to work. I know the Quartz Creek and Russian River campgrounds will be open (but no fishing until the sockeye opener on the Kenai/Russian till 06/11), I may just drive down to the Russian and walk the trails. Can't wait to hook into some fish. Tight lines!
