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.

My dmax calls for 60 psi in the front, and 80 psi in the rear tires. Just drop it down to match the front.
I never do, however, because i'm lazy. |

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. |

Slightly related question. When your 3/4 truck is not loaded/ towing can you run lower pressures just to improve the ride?

Sounds like the old ford engineer for explorer is now doing spec for trailer companies
