Bit expensive but not bad if shipping is included. There are a couple Rebel Forums out there. Take-off's happen fairly often there for less. Also keep in mind, these may mess up your TPMS, these are LT tires and they run at 55psi front and 45psi rear.

Air pressure in the tire is determined by tire size and weight of the vehicle. The fact that they are LT tires have nothing to do with the pressure ran in them and the TPMS alarm levels are set by vehicle, not the module in the rim.

Sorry, but that's simply not correct. My 2011 1500 weighs the same and has the same payload capacity as my 2016 1500. My 2011 runs the standard factory "P" tires and runs standard pressure. My 2016 1500 (Rebel) has factory "LT" tires and runs higher pressures, 55 and 45.

You are 100% correct about the TPMS sensor itself, the sensor simply reads the pressure. If you put "P" tires on a truck who's computer is set for the higher pressures of the "LT" tires you will get the TPMS light as it is expecting the higher pressure readings.

Your 2011 didn't have 285/70/17 out of the factory either. LT tires are capable of handling more pressure they also are capable of more weight handling depending on the load range(the two go hand in hand). The load capcity curve changes based on the maximum weight capacity of that particular tire.
Door nameplate tire pressures are for maximum load capcity, that is usually more pressure required than running unloaded. The actual weight supported at a given pressure and tire size will stay consistent, that's a law of physics. X amount of pressure applied to a given surface area will result in X amount of force(lifting force in this aspect).
Your citing maximum load capacity, I should have been a touch clearer of being actual required pressure.
