Just as an update: Took the truck on the beach for the very first time yesterday. Got stuck once but nothing major, just needed to air down some more but since it was the entrance everybody had to use a fellow beach goer was kind enough to pull me to the more packed sand. Made it to the other side, aired down out of people's way (turns out the magic number is 10 lbs. Total sugar sand)
I remembered all of everyone's advice and it made the trip very educational and very fun.
Important lessons learned: Always have people near you in case @#% hits the fan, Tire Deflators are a gift from God (aired down old school yesterday), and different vehicles and tires require different air down pressures (the man who towed me was at 20 but had a bigger truck).
Thank you all so much for making my first trip painless
