Tire pressure - please confirm

This morning, the pressure (cold) was at 37-39, based on the reading on the truck's info centre. The max pressure indicated on the tire is 50 psi. I intend to leave keep them inflated at 40 psi (combined towing and not towing). Wife does not like when tires are overinflated (not towing). She feels the truck is too bouncy. So 40 is the compromise I will come to.
The way the tires are currently inflated, I do not feel the shimmy when towing. Maybe there is some... but I don't know any better. Because the tires are inflated with Nitrogen, I don't want to "play" with the pressure all the time.
Is it normal/OK that the tire reading is not consistent? I varies 2-3 lbs between the 4 tires. Should I go to a specialized tire shop 1st thing in the morning and make sure they are all equal?
Thanks for all your comments. Learning a lot!
