A lot depends on the tire as to what you can run for psi, check the sidewall for opt psi and go from there.
I run 45psi in my fronts and like 35-40psi in the rears...
and yes uneven intentionally... not often that I haul a lot of weight in the back...and when I do, I air up the tires more to compensate for the weight.
front needs the extra air though as that cummins motor is HEAVY..

The truck on the home page here belongs to my friend. He owns/operates the company. If anyone is ever in the market for 1st gen/VE Cummins stuff keep this place in mind. He is a great guy, and will give you as good customer service as it gets.

I don't have a number but a trip that I always take went from $20 to $30 for gas. I just checked the front tire psi and the tire shop has them at 35 psi for some reason. So I will bump that back up to 45 and then see how it goes. Oh ya I am back to tire balancing beads OH crap............................

Lizzie Borden's descendents.
Lizzie Borden took an axe, and gave her mother forty whacks.
And when she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty one.
Close your door, lock and latch it, cause here comes lizzie with her hatchet.
