I know, I know, not another "I'm intentionally overloading my truck - tell me it's OK!" thread, but yeah, that's where I'm going ... sorry! OK, that being said, I'm getting ready to pull the trigge...

80 psi may or may not be necessary - just need to cross-check your actual loading vs. a chart like this: http://www.rvtirepressure.com/assets/images/extrapages/Michelin_Rv_Load_Inflation.pdf
If you can go lower pressure and still carry the load there is some advantage in that, as you've noted, the ride will be better, but also you'll be more resilient to road damage. I run 80psi in mine because it's got those silly 215/85-16s, so I'm near max load at 80 -- your 235/85's might be able to run less safely.
