I do have a new ARB compressor but no tank or anything to get the onboard air set up before Moab. Should I push to get this completed before the trip down? I really dont know if I will have time.
Running BFG M/T on 17x9. I usually run at 10-11 when wheeling, and have taken them to 8psi many of times on rocks and snow. Lost one bead, and that is when I pushed it hard aginst a rock so it wasn't so much the low presure. Have been told that the narrow the rim, the harder it is to unseat. So it shouldn't be a concern.

Run a washboarded dirt road with street pressure.
Air down to 12psi or so.
Run the same road again.
You will be converted.

And that doesn't even address the much increased traction.
