i run 0 psi front and rear but i trailer my trash everywhere.  No need to ever air back up that way.  Im on 38.5" boggers, the sidewalls are stiff so they dont really fold in.  Plus im running triple beadlocks with run flats so I am not concerned with losing a bead.  and I carry a spare

IMHO I think it's a good investment to get automatic deflators like the Stauns or Oasis which I've been using for about 10 years. You can adjust them to stop at whatever air pressure you want them to and you can start going down the trail while your tires are airing down.

I will pull the valve stem on one tire and put an air chuck on the other(valve stem still in), by the time I get back to the first tire the PSI is down to 15.  By the time the other tires are down to 10psi, the one w/the chuck on it is finished.

For rocks I prefer 10psi w/MT's and 15psi for AT's.
For snow I run whatever amount is needed to that day.  I usually start off at 10psi and adjust as needed for the conditions.

How much are the Stauns and where is a good place to order them from?
Fat chicks and mopeds are a good ride until someone sees you.

Just experiment and see whats best for you.
i run 5-10 psi on everything sand, rocks, snow, but   thats just what has worked best for me.

You can get them from any 4WheelParts, they normally stock them. $60

They work great once set to your likings....

I have used a set of oasis deflators for about the last 10 years.  Tire pleasure varies depending on what tire I'm running and the conditions.  I usually run arounf 10-12 on average trails, 7-9 for big rocks/really difficult stuff and 3-7 in the deep snow.

I have beadlocks for my skinny swampers (34 x 9.50 tsl) because they wouldn't stay on rims below like 20 psi. On my wider radial tires and I've only broke one bead in the last 10 years with no beadlocks...
