The door sticker is from the factory for the stock tires it shipped with. I've always heard and read (I've seen a few charts out there that actually break it down by front and rear axle weight) right around 65% of max stated on the tire for daily driving, and 80% (or more as needed) if towing/hauling.
The sticker is for P rated tires... that number is now useless with your LT tires. 50-60 seems to be a good range for most and I air up to about 65 since I use my truck a lot for more than getting groceries. I don't think you'd ever need to go up to 80 tho unless you've got a yard of gravel in the back.

How ! Many diff thoughts.
If you have anything other than p rated tires you need to air up more than door specs.
This is a truck , yes they ride
Rougher with c, d, e load rated tires , but they will b sponge at extreme low pressures . Get those side walls off the ground .
