tire pressure on dually?

The mocs that tow with a dually, what tire pressure do you maintain? On mine the sticker on the truck says 60lb in the rear ond 65lb in the front. On the tires, its states 80lbs. I wonder if that was for single axle or not? I have been using fords sticker pressures and it seems alright. I was wondering what others were using. Thanks Jack

I use 65-70 in front and 75 in rear.
I use to run same front and back but had center tire wear in front because not enough weight on front.

My tire guy says 80lbs cold means 80lbs cold so you can do that if you want.It is more a comfort matter With 80lbs all around our dually rides empty like it has square wheels but like a caddy hooked up..personal preference.

I am pretty new to the Dually world as I have only had the new truck a month. But when I first towed with it I went up to the service station and was filling up the truck with fuel and checking the tires on the trailer and truck. The attendant whom I know personally a a good friend and also someone who has sold me all my tires told me to read the door jamb on the truck. It said 75 front and 60 rear. I already had the fronts set at 80, but the back we only pumped up to 65. It towed fine and I never had any problems.

On a side note has anyone found a good set of extensions for the ford Duals. The inside ones are a real bear to check with the steel stems.
