Default stock shock question

Stock shocks on my '06 SG seized up (45,000 miles). Dealer had a set of 13" takeoffs that they installed for $100 all together. Question has to do with air pressure. I know the SG's are rated higher, 50 psi max, because they are 12", what are the ratings on the 13"? Seemed like 35-40. Also, is there different ratings for different years? They were unsure what year bike they were off of. Between the old ones being seized and the new ones having an additional 1" of travel the ride is much better, I just want to be able to adjust them accordingly.
