Tire PSI for H3 Adventure Package ?
I have the base P265/75-R16 tires on my 2009 H3 and the Door Jam Sticker for them call for 30 psi front and rear , and 35 psi for the spare. I think I may replace them with the LT285/75-R16 tires that come with the Adventure Package. Can someone with the Adventure Package and LT285/75-R16 tires tell me what the door jam sticker calls for the psi to be set at for the front/rear/and spare please ?

The tire only lists the maximum limits; both for pressure and load range... there is no way a tire can tell you what to use for your specific vehicle. You wouldn't use the same pressure for a 5000lb vehicle as you would a 1000lb vehicle would you?
It is the same concept as an exercise ball, if you read the instructions they will indicate for a skinny 100lb girl to use a lower pressure than a large 250lb guy.
Typically you should always follow the sidewall pressure on the door jam. When changing tire size to something wider you can add even just a couple of pounds of pressure to change the tire contact patch back to stock.
