Changing air pressure

I don't have an easy way but if I'm letting out more than a few lbs I disconnect the chuck from the air hose and air it down with that.

Might want to look into using what off roaders use to lower the pressure in their tires.

Might want to look into these. Smitty tire deflators

This is what I like about this forum. There's always someone that can answer even what seems like a stupid question. I considered deleting my question thinking how dumb it was but then I learned there was the Smitty tire deflators. Never knew they existed. Awesome.

The instructions make no reference to what the max pressure is that those things can be set to.

Staun deflaters are another brand and they have two or three different ranges to suit different classes of vehicles.

The ARB deflator is super fast and precise. You can deflate too any pressure as it has an integral gauge. The Staun and similar work well is you are only ever going to deflate to a specific pressure. For me, the ARB works better. As I can deflate to daily driving pressure when the camper is off and still deflate to off-road pressure if needed quickly with the same tool. I used to use the chuck with the hose attached but this is orders of magnitude faster as it removes the center of the valve but keeps it captive so you don't lose it.

Off road, I along with most of the club used staun deflators. Since four came in a pack, I had two set for normal off-road (20psi) and two set of hard-core (14 psi). One thing we found out, is make sure you have an air supply available when airing down since every once in a while, one will stick. (Maybe one in 1,000 air downs).

I've been thinking of getting another set with higher max pressure to set my truck's unladen pressure. Figured the convenience would be enough to drop them down more often than running at 80psi all the time.

75# seems like more than you need on a dually. My door sticker shows 60# for the rear on my GMC. Thats for maximum load on the rear.
