Noticed the same today playing around. Saw it was 45, and thought that's way high! I will go out and give it a test run at 37 - that's what the door jam says.
I used to work at a high end off road shop here in Houston and we had a great relationship with BFG. BFG reps recommended we stick to 27-29 psi on a 4 door Jeep. Going down to that pressure was a night and day difference in driveability on JK’s then JL’s. Try it and see what your thoughts are, you may be surprised. Sucks the factory has to put that psi on door jam since that is the psi required to hit load rating at maximum gross vehicle weight as rated from factory.
I haven’t chalk tested the BFGs, but I would suspect you’re probably right. I didn’t bother dialing the pressure in on the 35s as I’ll have the 37s on soon enough and I’ll dial those in. But on my last rig I chalk tested at 25 psi cold on the Yokohama MTs. And I ran 25psi as highway pressure with great results, no wandering, excessive noise, accelerated wear, or anything.
Glad to know I’m not the only one peeking at the lot to make sure they haven’t gotten my Jeep and forgot to call me
Agree with both of these. I never ran my BFG M/T over 30 and never had an issue. Still figuring out the quirks. I do have over 1000 miles on it already!
Oh for sure, I didn’t know about the fuse thing but I did print off the checklist and used it to do my PDI. Every single fuse and relay needed to be seated. I couldn’t believe it.

Link to the original post with the interactive checklist if you need it. You enter your info and I populates a list based on your order. It was super helpful. I sent it to my sales guy ahead of time and asked him to pass it off to his tech. It was overwhelming enough that they just waited for me to do PDI with them. I was really happy that I got to be there for it all.I'll be printing off that list & checking those fuses & tires too.
