Question How many PSI

I have to use the old blue beast to carry some quik crete sacks when the weather dries up. I have to carry 45 80lb bags for 30 miles my tires are 235 85 R16 E rated. the sidewall says max 80psi I think Should I inflate to "the max" or just under to like 70-75 psi?
The truck is the blue 78 F250HD in my gallery. it has the axle rating-just barely but with synthetic fluid it should be OK. It has 14 leaf springs on each side (look in my gallery under"springs" Have 460 HD tow pk coils in the front .
It think the truck will do it???

You should be alright with 70 psi,but 80 is better.A 235 at 80 is rated around 3000 lb. load cap.
