I have since found a sweet spot at 85psi on both the front and the rears with all my tanks about 25% full and minimal cargo. The handling had improved about 70%-75% in the wandering department with the caster and toe-in adjustment however the front should not continuously bounce after hitting small dips or bumps in the road. I have also shuffled most of the weight in front of the rear axle as excessive weight behind the rear axle would cause a bouncy feel as well. This W22 has a 22000 lb. load range G rating and the recommended pressures are for Michelin XRV's are anywhere between 65psi and 110psi depending on the load. The shocks definitely need replacing, which I'll be doing next week. Once the shocks are done I'll reevaluate the tire pressure again.

Got it now, hope I didn't come off as a smart a&%. It was not intended to be.

I don't know what size rims you have but I also run my tire pressure at 85 psi. I have 19.5" rims and G load range tires.
