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.

My RAM only shows fully loaded pressures.
Same here.
But if I remember correctly, someplace in the manual it ways you can go down to 50 Fr and 45 rear.d3500ram wrote:

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. - I have a 2007 Dodge 3500 SRW with 17" 'E' tires
I run 55# front tires ALL the time...towing or not (4850#...scaled weight/diesel)
I run 80# rear tires TOWING (6200# scaled weight)
I run 45# rear tire NOT TOWING (3260# scaled weight)
