Default Tire pressure on 35's with 4" lift

What is the optimal tire pressure to run in a JKU Rubicon, 35's MTs, 4" lift, no bead lockers, 17" rims ? Is it different in the Snow, verses sand, or rock climbing? Ran my 08 Sahara, but it had street tires and 18" rims, and only in the sand at Pismo a few times, and on Brewer Lake trail once. Thanks for the help!

Start at 30psi and do a chalk test. It'll depend on vehicle weight but 30 will get you close. I run my 35s at 29psi and get even wear, good handling. Do a search, there's plenty of info on pressures and how to do a chalk test.

That depends on the terrain you run in and what kind of wheels you run. Back when I had OEM wheels I ran 15 off road. Now I have bead locks and run 10 most of the time but sometimes 15.
