What did you do to your Ram today???

Use the numbers on your tires instead. Engine is heavy so more in front.

Respectfully, no.

The number on the tire is the max load carrying rating of the tire itself - which typically far exceeds a half ton truck’s capacity, especially if you are not running a passenger tire (LT or E load range). These pressures would be tooth-rattling overkill.

The yellow sticker is the last to be applied in the manufacturing process and is calculated specifically for each truck by weighing it as it rolls off the line.

But similarly, the pressures shown on the placard reflect the required pressure to support the full GVWR, or in other words is the pressure you want when hauling at full capacity.

Daily pressure can be slightly less.

Do not use the pressures in the tires themselves, those are max inflation numbers for max load on the tires. You are no where close to max load unless hauling heavy.
 
lol yall worrying about keeping tire pressure in line with the sticker while i'm here rolling at 33 psi all around currently/ 40 psi all around when it called for more on the sticker when truck was new and empty. i lowered the tpms threshold long time ago from 55/45 to 40 all around, then down to 35 all around.

I ordered two sets (about 40€ each) because one kit wasn’t enough length for the amount of strips I wanted to run. Total cost: ~80€. Check out pictures in attachment.

What I installed (layout)​

I used the strips like this:
  • Front dashboard / front panel: 3 LED strips
  • Center console: 2 LED strips
  • Doors: 1 LED strip per door
  • Plus extra lighting for:
    • door handles
    • footwells / footsteps
    • door pockets / door area
So overall it ends up looking very “factory+” and fills the cabin evenly.
  • Day 1: ~4 hours
  • Day 2: ~3 hours
    Total: ~7 hours DIY
  • App control + remote control
  • About 200 presets (lots of animated / “streamer” effects)
  • Zone control (front + doors separately)
  • Brightness + speed adjustments
  • Music mode is included too
Honestly the quality is good for the money — strips are bright, effects are smooth, and the interior looks way more premium at night. For ~80€ total, I’m really happy with it.
very nice. how much work involved getting the wires to the door?
or you already have lights in the door at night from factory?
 
The rear of the truck (unloaded) is lighter than the front of the truck, thus the rear tires do not require as much air pressure. Even though the truck label says 39 in both, the rear won’t need that much if the there is no load. When loaded, add more air to the rear.
