Hi - looking to soften my ride a little bit. Truck is a 1954 4100 with 7.50-20 tires. Minimum Ford spec seems to be 40psi front and 60psi rear. I would like to drop the rears down some. My wheels are the lock ring style. I do understand that the air pressure holds the wheel sections out and locked.
I accidently had one rear drop to 35psi with no ill effects so this got me thinking I might be able to drop them down from 60 to maybe 45psi? Since my fronts are spec'd by Ford for 40psi, this should obviously be safe for the rears too?? Seems logical to me.
I never carry more than a ton in her (pellets, mulch, top soil, firewood). Other than that she is my daily driver for errands.
I just wanted to ask the folks here in case I am overlooking something prior to dropping them on down.
Thanks
Scott
