To everyone saying 80 PSI, this is not the case. The tire sidewall says:
LOAD RANGE E MAX LOAD 1700 kg (3750 PSI) AT 450 KPA (65 PSI) COLD.
The tire is Toyo RT 37X12.50R20LT 126Q 10 P.R.
Note that it is a 10 ply, not a 12 ply. Regardless, we can't say \"E rated means 80 psi\" anymore.
Bounce, Bounce, Bounce!!! The \"D\" tires are NOT good for hauling a 5er. Carrying capacity, YES but sidewall stability NO!
Sounds like you made a stop at LesSchwab!

I agree. Inflating to 80 psi levels the rear end and removes the bounce.
Are you serious? 80psi? You must be AZZ high with your truck with those pressures.

Are you within your tire ratings? I'd worry about that more than being 120 lbs over the axle rating.

I made a video of my airbags installation on the truck a few weeks ago. My 5th wheel tows much more confidently, less bouncy with the extra support. For any interested:
