Check the door jamb for a label that has the proper inflation numbers on it. 29 psi front, 32 psi rear. I would bet a dollar that they are inflated to the "MAX" pressure listed on the tire, 35 psi.

Had a situation at work today that required me to haul 15 rolls of roof covering and 10 buckets of roof tar {and a 12 oz can of soda}
tires were reading 35 PSI after the load was dropped so I lowered it. The truck rode like a fat guy on a waterbed! If I had a CD of "When the Saints go Marchin' In" I would have made a great video!
I am going to check the PSI in the morning when I get up so it would be a cold reading. I have a gut feeling they rotated my tires incorrectly when I did the oil change. I had 32 rear and 29 front. I think they might have criss-crossed them which would put different pressures left to right.

Good Luck,

I just took some cleaner to the throttle body and the truck went funky on me. When starting it races up to 1200 to 1400 RPM the settles down to around 800 RPM or less. The truck seems to be more agressive on ****ing also...
Did I mess something up.

Bottom line the BFG long trails aren't what I want - we will see what tire is in my future!
