That sounds high for that truck. There is a tag on the door that will give you the recommended pressures for the vehicle. Many times a shop will just fill them to whatever the sidewall says is the max pressure, especially with an LT tire. The door tag will likely have a couple pressures listed, one with an empty vehicle and one for higher weight or towing. The problem with the higher pressure is that while it might give you a tine mpg increase, it also causes the tire to balloon out in the center and then you wear out the center of the tread faster as shown in the image.
