Quick PSA: Check Tire PSI from factory.

[Theherofails]

I did the search thing, didn't see this. Just a quick PSA.. My Sas came with PSI WELL over factory specs (50+ psi) and I noticed it because the ride was fairly terrible. TPS saw it high and confirmed with ARB pressure gauge.

Dropping PSI to 39 (cold pressure) as stated on door sticker improved the ride DRAMATICALLY. Feels soft, supple now instead of rattling my teeth fillings out.

TL;DR - Check Tire PSI, reduce as needed, profit.

If your bronco was on dirt mountain good chance the tire pressure was increased to prevent flat spotting, but it should be adjusted before delivery. Also if your in a significantly warmer area than Michigan the tire pressure would increase with increasing temperature.

Are you saying they figured that out at the dealer or that the dealer delivered it to you like that?

No, I saw it at delivery and the dealer thought that it was normal. It's been CRAZY busy for me since delivery and this was my first chance to confirm and adjust the air pressure.

It's a new build. Built 10/1, shipped 10/4.

Mine was 42.5. I dropped it to 37 for now, might go a little lower. I suspect factory spec of 39 is for fuel economy.

I prefer higher pressure. Better tire wear and fuel economy. I think my trucks 33s are at 55psi lol

My buddy is the same way. He runs crazy high in his F-250. I like a little less spine pain.

Haha fair point. His is a 20 year old F-250. Drives like a rash feels, if ya get me. Terrible.

Ooh I feel you lol before I replaced my shocks(did it at 100k miles) it was like a new truck. Gonna be hard to say goodbye in December but I am set on buying another 2014 silverado and making it a flatbed in a few years.

Is that your delivery for the Bronco? Coolest vehicle I've ever owned, by far.

My f350 has 65 psi front 80 psi rear on the label. Only way to handle the max payload. Definitely feel it.

Your dealer should have caught that when they did their PDI inspection. Unless they rushed or half assed it. But that is fairly common from the factory to come way over recommended. But I was amazing how high of a PSI Ford recommends for the Bronco. Most vehicles I ever owned were always around 29-32psi cold. When I first took deliver I could tell just by driving it the tire pressure felt high. But it was at spec. I'll probably lower it a bit for comfort.

My 2004 F250 is at 50 psi and has airbags on the rear suspension, firm, but smoother than stock. Two solid axles and leaf springs on all 4 corners. Classic high boy style.
