i am at 52-55 psi cold  (depending on the day ) and light is on constantly......it rides better so i just deal with it, sometimes light comes on and sometimes it doesnt @ 55psi

Dunn - Do you have 20 inch wheels?  When I was test driving very similar trucks the ones with 20s definitely had a stiffer ride and transmitted road bumps more than the trucks with 18s. I chose the 18s for that reason and also for more sidewall when airing down off pavement.

i have 18s for same reason......more tire volume than rim

I just bought my 1st 3/4 ton Silverado and I have to agree, with an empty bed the truck is all over the road at faster highway speeds 70/80mph. So around town I run my 18" tires at 55 front/65 back. When I throw my 500lb sliding 5th wheel hitch in the bed and tow, I bring it back up to 60/70 as stated on door jamb. Don't want to take any chances under load.

I see you are from Woosta!!!  LOL...I used to live in Chelmsford when going to tech school in Boston.   Very cool.  Sometimes I miss that area and most times I don't.  Great place to live....if you can handle the cost of housing...holy crap is that area expensive to live in.
