Does the pressure matter?
I'd just inch the vehicle up and air down just far enough to get through ...
No way to know what pressure you can go to without detailed knowledge of your tyres and rims. Some set-ups can run, albeit slowly, at 4 psi, some wouldn't be safe below 20 psi ...

You must have a lot of time on your hands to be this useful? Feel fulfilled?
As noted in my question, its the height of the landy i want to reduce, not the elevation of the tyres. But thanks for trying .
Thanks for the more useful reply! I thought there may be a typical safe limit, but i guess not :/ Even with the tyres down, i aint sure if it'll be low enough! The fail safe is to use my steading!
Its a D1 i'm afraid

Had to let my rears right down to get the defender in the garage, a real swine to steer whilst reversing with two flats....

Go to a breaker and get 4 small(ish) wheels with rubbish tyres. If they still don't get you quite low enough, then drop the pressure. Even if they go flat, it wont do any harm then.
