I am not very good at explaining things but here goes, if you leave your front tires at full pressure, they tend to sink faster due to the smaller footprint even though they are not driving. when they encounter an obsticle such as a small rut or a small pile of sand at street pressure they will want to try to climb it, but with the pressure lowered, they will tend to comform to it and roll over it.
here is an experiment, with full street pressure, pull up to a curb or another small obsticle and slowly try to put your front wheels up on it, then try it with the pressure lowered in the front tires. you will notice that the truck will go up on the obsticle a little easier with lower pressure.
Just a couple of other tips for sand, lower the pressure before you start playing, and as mentioned previously, stop spinning the tires as soon as your truck stops moving. all you are doing after that is digging straight down.
this is just my 2 cents, and the advise comes from experience with this issue.
