I have E range tires, and I run about 38 in the front and about 35 in the rear when I'm unloaded.

Normally, I'd agree with you, especially on a 1500. But on my 2500 with both the factory towing and camper packages, an empty bed is just too light for that very stiff suspension. Over-inflated tires just makes it worse.
