My 06 Ram 3500 4x4 DRW Cummins states 80psi all tires when LOADED.
When EMPTY rears get 40psi and fronts 60psi.
Front tires need 60psi because the engine weighs 1,000lbs.
I keep fronts at 80psi because my BOSS V plow weights 1,000lbs.
I will bet you are under inflating your fronts when not towing. FACT is I have more pin than most at 5,800# and I only add around 150# to my front axle. Mine fronts are aired 80 ALL the time.
You are WAYYYYYYY overinflating the rear tires towing at 80psi.
For FULL RAWR of 9,750# 65 psi is all that's needed. I am betting you are no where near that weight.
