Go with the numbers listed on the truck as long as you don't exceed the max pressure of the tires.

I used 35-38 PSI without load in front and rear. With load I used 45 - 55 in the rear tires only.

Read on the tire sidewall.
I always run mine at the inflation for max payload which is listed on the sidewall.
Better fuel mileage, the ride is not that much different.
