[QUOTE="SurfRaptor, post: 1473820, member: 38811"] There is definitely some confusion here. Airing down helps you not get stuck in deep soft sand but it also acts as cushions for your suspension and front end. If you are not airing down and offloading with 40 PSI in your tires (and I mean real use of the vehicle and not a city block on the sand) then you are trashing the front end components much faster and will cause issues down the line. A Viar compressor kit is like $200 and a ARB Auto Air Down is $40. These people are absolutely thrashing an 80k truck. I would air down almost every time especially if you plan on being hard on it. I'm sure some people will argue that the Raptor can do this out of the box and Im sure it can but why put more stress on the front end? In my JKU wrangler I run 13 PSI on the beach in Baja and 28 on KM2's on the road in baja just to soften up the ride. Tire size is just slighly less than a 35 at 305 70 R16. For anyone new to offloading and reading this.......Air Down and then put the skinny pedal to the floor. [/QUOTE]
