I haven't seen any tire pressure door stickers with 2 different pressures. I think the truck and tire manufacturers might know what is right.
Door stickers are for max axle loads. Read your owners manual.
To "Michelle.S" poster concerned about low inflation, my truck came with an inflation chart that showed that I could actually go lower that 42 lbs. I bought it new in June of 2001 and tires have performed well. I am just starting on the third set!
To OP, with a dually you do not have to run max sidewall pressure. It only takes 50 some lbs to support the RGAWR across 4 tires. I think that with a dually they are less likely to drive squirrelly with tires left to towing pressure.

I never run my tires at full inflation! If I placed 80 psi in them I would have 6,830# of capacity. With the 5er attached I run about 5,450# on my rear axle, so run between 70 to 75 psi. Empty I run about 45 to 50 psi, better wear and traction!
