How about the inflation table
Not interested in running over inflated. Ride is more harsh and less performance.

Vehicle recommended pressures are a compromise between load capability, handling, stopping and ride.
The door jam sticker is for the MAX GAWR of each axle individually. Our 2001 RAM paper work actually had an included document to show inflation for lighter loads.
If you believes in leaving an axle weighing 3200-3400 when empty at 80 PSI, why are you not inflating your fronts to 80 PSI? Oh, wait manufacturer said you only need 60 PSI for that lighter axle load!! Which reminds me, I need to lower my rears to 42 PSI as I will not be towing again for 7 months.
