Tire pressure

Hey guys, I am new to the forum. I have a 2015 Tacoma off road with Falken wild peak off road tires (R17).I am by no means a mechanic and am learning more about my truck each day. I drive on pavement (30mins) to bumpy 2 tracks (30 mins) quite often. My ride has been quite bumpy and I'm considering some options to make a smoother ride on the off road.

First idea is to lower my tire pressure (32) down to low 20s. The off road performance will be smoother but my highway milage will be a lot lower and consistently changing tire pressures sounds like a pain. Any good advice here?

I am also looking into getting Blitzen 6112 shocks. My truck has 100k on it. Might be time for a new suspension? Would you recommend front and rear?
Thanks for the help guys.

 

Not recommended to run on the highway will psi in the 20s. Suggest to air down off road to your desired 20s, then air back up for on road.

 

28 is as long as I'd go for highway.

6112s are a good upgrade and handle bumpy roads much better than the stock suspension. Paired with 5160s in the rear, or simple 5100s will make a big difference.

Are the rear leaf springs sagged out? It also makes a big difference with gravel if you're bottoming out easily.

 

If you've never changed your shocks, it's certainly time. I'd go with Bilstein, never heard of Blitzen shocks .

I would not run low pressures on the highway, at least not for very long. Tires will build up excessive heat and layers may separate. If you are running OEM size tires, use what is on the door placard and either learn to live with it or learn to deal with airing up and airing down for comfort.
