Trailer tire pressure

My concern is altering the contact patch and getting excessive wear from running them at such a pressure difference. I know I've negatively impacted wear on wider car tires with different pressures.

I have seen no increased wear...but your mileage will vary. I do however see more ball joint wear and etc with inflated up tires, but again, you'd schit if you saw the roads in my area of town....and some mountain road short cuts we take a lot.
Oh, and bringing the pressure down unloaded will also help braking and turning when hitting bumps. Big difference.
I can't stand the ride of a stiff truck....those days are long gone for me...thus why have had Chevy's predominently for a long time.

Yes you can. If you have a diesel I would be careful on lowering the front lots of weight up there. My 2015 3/4 Dmax calls for 60 in the front and 75 in the rear. For 8 months out of the year I rarely have a significant load on. So I run 55 in the front and 65 in the rear.
