Rear tires fully aired are at 80psi. My ARB gauge/deflator only goes to 60. Any gauge damage connecting it and dropping pressure down to <60psi? Is there a higher psi product?

I’m a fan of these. Once you figure out how many psi you drop per minute it’s pretty repeatable in my experience. You could use this to quickly bring it down into your <60 range.

Yeah, 80psi
; care to share what your set-up is for wheel and tire size? Just curious as that seems like a lot; what kind of valve stems you running?
; care to share what your set-up is for wheel and tire size? Just curious as that seems like a lot; what kind of valve stems you running?You can get the stick style tire gauges that go up into the 120-130 range. They are common at truck stops on freeways.
I had a similar problem when I had an F250 and would run it loaded. Most of those stick gauges have a little nub on the back to depress the valve stem. It doesn’t take long to drain 20 or so psi that way.
Personally, I would just do that.

2007 Silverado 2500. It currently has rusty steel wheels and balding, old BFG KO tires. It’s getting some OEM Suburban wheels and 235/85-16 Cooper AT3 LT tires. Door sticker is 55psi front and 80psi rear. Currently at 60psi in the rear since it’s empty. Stock size is 245/75-16. The ARB gauge is from my recently departed Tacoma.

Ahhhhhh, gotcha, totally makes sense now cuz of the tow rating for the 80psi.....lol. I was like damn! Thanks for the clarification.
I'd contact BFG or Cooper or whatever tire OEM direct on your set-up as they might tell you differently; my set-up on my LR3 is nothing close to OEM door sticker and suggested directly from BFG.......I say suggested as they won't use "quote" for liability as it is not an OEM tire size but they give you suggestions for load ratings. Reason I suggest is that the door stickers are generally for the maxed out vehicle weight so mine is much different than stock; especially with the different tire size. I referred directly to and off BFG and she rides like a dream but my PSI are fairly different than JLR door sticker.
Ride on Amigo!

FedEx just delivered a two hose Indeflate tool. Wow. It is very well made. Truly impressive construction. For a deflator that doesn’t remove the valve cores it dropped pressure plenty quick. I’m looking forward to using it at the beach.

That’s the problem with a vehicle based user name. The Tacoma and I mutually agreed that it was time to part ways. It’s now living it’s best life with a friend of mine.

Yep, I think we all read Taco/85psi and went WOW.
