Yeah I run my 35's at 35 psi all the time.
My first set the shop put 45 psi and I noticed that the center of the tire was wearing down More instead of even so I aired them down to 35 psi and after a year later I noticed that they was wearing even.
My second set of 35's I got last weekend I noticed that they put 45 psi in them so I lowered them all down to 35 psi.
Yeah at 40 or 45 psi the rig rode ruff and pot holes would hit hard and make the rig feel like it was gonna go off the road.
Now rides alot smoother and better traction.

Larger tires do not require more pressure to fill the larger volume.

But I’m not sure if tires with a higher load rating require different pressure than factory recommended. I’ve read both.

Yeah I'm not sure what the load rating is or the recommended tire pressure for mine I just Kno it rides alot smoother and better traction bc it creates a larger foot area.
And when I'm offroading I air down to 20 psi.

Some of depends on wheels size. Before my lift I ran 33 toyo a/t at 41 front 39 rear 17" wheels. With the lift now have 35 toyo r/t on 17 x 8.5 wheels I run the same the Sam psi as the a/t seems a good balance for ride and handling. Airing down wise I can go to 12 psi but that is with my size wheels.

Scoot! How've you been? Last I think I heard you were working on a Bronco or Blazer project.

Depends on who you were talking to :). Scoot0073, Gruz7 and I got ours from WAM Bumpers. FRD88 had his made by CK Fab.
x2 Love it. was it painted too? or u had to get that done?....although my truck currently has more of a tuner look. i would have to get wheel set to give it more off road look.

Noob question. i read online that adding metal bumper is bad, because of weight on motor or strain on transmission. i plan to do some 20-30hr road trips non stop would that be a determining factor?.
