when pulling 5er, 11,200 lbs could you let me know what pressure.
I would think 80 rear but not sure of front. says 60, but that doesn't seem eneough
60 front, is good as the front axle weight doesn't change much with a 5th wheel.
11,200# 5er, that doesn't matter so much as what your rear axle weight is when loaded for towing and the capacity of your tires at 80 psi.
I pull an 11,200# 5er with my 2001 Ram 2500, I run the rears at 65 to 70 psi, loaded. I carry 5,500# on my rear axle, tires (camper package) 265/75-16E 3,414# ea, or 6,830# total capacity, I am 1,300# under the tires capacity at 80 psi. So running at 80 psi my rears would be over inflated for the load, reducing TRACTION!
I also drop the rears to 45 psi empty.
