solo tire pressure
Since I won't be towing my 5th wheel for a few months, I'd like to improve the ride of our daily driver. How low can I go. We have a 2014 Ram 2500 2x2 Big Horn with 18 inch wheels.

The door sticker on my 2012 Ram 2500 list tire pressures to use in the normal operation mode and the max load mode.
I’m sure yours does also. Follow those settings.
You will also likely need to change the tire pressure mode of operation on the dash instruments so your TPMS functions correctly.
I would recommend not driving on lower pressures for long.
A couple weekends ago I had to lower my tire pressures to 20 lbs on the rear, with my trailer hooked to the truck. It had rained almost 2 inches since we parked. Several of my friends were getting stuck in the grass campsites as we left the rally. Lowering the tire pressure allowed me to pull out without any wheel spin or getting stock. And I went straight to a hard section of road where my extension cord would teach a 20 amp plug on a pedestal, hooked up my pancake compressor and inflated the tires back to 75 psi.
