34 should do you right

there should be a sticker on the drivers door but non standard tyres may vary,
some have upped it to 36 or higher when loaded up

There is no correct tyre pressure because they are a mile off a standard fitment. Normally I would suggest running a bit softer than recommended pressures (less contact pressure and stiffer side-walls) but I think Bongo's run a bit low anyway. Try thirty all round and go up until it handles/looks right. The low profiles often have a low maximum pressure so check the tyre for info and stay within the limits.
