I am not sure about a 1980, but, I run them on my 1981 f150 with no problems or no lift. Look at my profile they are on the avatar I use.

i had 31x10.5x15 on mine for a long time. when the suspension flexed enough it would rub some, but never enough to cause a problem, and only with a lot of flex. shouldn't be a problem unless you want to take it rock-crawling....

Exact tires and truck for me. They rubbed the radius arms somewhat now and then and were fussy when tight turning. I just changed them out to 30x9.50 and all is good, it seems. Both sets - BFG T/A.
