I think I found the Toyo RV inflation guide here.
It would be nice to know your corner weights, but if your tires are equally loaded, it looks like you would use 90 PSI in the front and 90 in the rear tires as well. So I think you are correct.
I would definitely call Freightliner and get a good four corner alignment done. Look up your ride heights and have them adjust that as well. The rear wheel alignment can be as important as the front -- especially the way you are describing the rear going wide. While they are checking your suspension, have them check for loose connections, ball joints, etc.
Except for dropping the fronts down 20 lbs to 80 PSI as you point out, I'm nearly at Toyo's specs. (Thanks for the page link.) I'll do that before our next trip over the coming holiday - only 50 miles. :-) Right now I need to save some more pennies before taking it in for a checkup. I like your suggestion of things to have them check up on. It just blows me away as to how changing tires could make all that much difference in the ride.
As I said, I'll be sure to let you know when I get further info.
