    So question: has anyone weighed the front and rear to see what the weight over the axle actually is? I have a 5.7 over the front, and other than a few pounds here and there for add-on's, I would think it's going to be close to the same all the time, right? The load in the cargo area may affect front weight over the axle, but probably not by much. As a rule, being a truck guy, I have always run more pressure in the front tires (usually about 2psi) unless I'm loaded. Any input on this? Thanks.

    I used to run 3-5 PSI less in the rear tires of my pickup truck as well.

    For my Commander i run them all the same pressure. I'm not sure what the exact weight distribution is on these vehicles, but it looks to be pretty close to even.

    My "standard" procedure is to run them all the same unless i see signs that pressure should be reduced, ie: the center tread of the rear tires wearing more, or non-uniform tread contact patch.
