Mine was at 41, dialed back to 37 and made a difference. It's a Jeep Factory Thing ™ evidently - my wife's JLU was received off of the factory truck and we took delivery pretty much as fast as possible. Driving home it was all the freaking over the place - checked pressure and it was 43. No idea why they do that.
Salesman told me flat out to adjust the pressure and said it was to prevent dead spots from potentially sitting on the lot.

My WJ would go bump-bump-bump for the first 3 or 4 miles after sitting for a month. Fairly new tires but sitting, especially in cold weather, made it rough for a ways.
My dealer bumped my tires back up to 41 last rotation but when they did my wife's the next day - they rotated the tires and put them at the door sticker pressure! Go figure!
