    D2 tire pressure with bullbar?

    So my D2 has an ARB bullbar fitted and at stock 28psi it feels and looks super low so I currently have it at the same as rear (38psi) and it still looks super low (side wall almost touching the ground)
    Am I doing something wrong or is something wrong?
    Tyres are Windforce Catchfors A/T's LT 225/75/16

    225 is a bit narrow for a D2 either std wheel or alloys!
    (or is that a typo?)
    What wheels has it got?

    Nope not a typo and I believe the wheels are factory alloys 7jx16x57.0ah2 is printed on them

    My D2a is fitted with an ARB bullbar, 12,000lb winch, 2x 9inch LED spots and a lightbar which add about another 90kg to the front end and running 28psi on the hardtop is too low as far as I am concerned.
    I run back and rear at 38psi (Cold) for simplicity and the profile looks the same front and rear, I am running 245/70/16 Yokohama Geolander AT's.
    It is just common sense that adding the extra weight of the bullbar and other accessories to the front end will require a higher tyre pressure than the recommended 28psi for a stock truck.

    I have a bullbar and winch on the front.
    I run 42psi front and rear to get good even tyre wear. Usually get about 80-85k out of a set of tyres.
    Cheers,
    Jason

    We used to have the same tyre pressure discussions on the Deefer boards and pressures varied widely.

    Tyre size (volume) and construction (eg. sidewall stiffness, etc) plays a part, but it still doesn't account for the huge differences people feel comfortable running.

    38 psi would be a harsh ride.

    Ive run 34 on 265/75/16 Mickey Thompson muddies for a long time and had good results. Lower on dirt etc of course.

    ARB bullbar included.

    I tried 38psi just recently after reading this post and rides like a bullock Dray.

    Back to 34psi.

    I.
