Has nothing to do with wheelbase... You are comparing two completly different trucks with different tire ratings/capacities and max PSI ratings.

With that light of a load behind the 1ton you definately dont need to be at max PSI (80lbs) but not going to hurt anything if you do. Just a bit stiffer ride.
