So funny no one can give a straight answer but have lot's of opinions. In your post you are quoting someone running 125psi on a 4,500# load but you are suggesting for me " I'll speculate maybe 110-115 psi at a minimum."
Now let's say I go by a 15% margin that many talk about. My load is 4,500# and adding 15% is 5,175#. So using the chart 105psi gives me 5,200# capacity slightly over the magical 15% reserve.
What say y'all ?
Not being "argumentative" here, I simply would like people to give straight answers or suggestions.
