E rated tire with max psi of 65?
I have Nitto Ridge Grapplers that came on the truck when I bought it used, size LT325/65R18 E 127/124Q. Every E-rated tire I've ever seen is rated to carry its max load at 80psi, so the first trip ...

2 issues running those tires:
Rim width....you stated your rims are 8" and yet the 'approved rims' are 9=(9.5")-12" (9.5" being the recommended width)
Your rims are too Narrow and running down the hwy or when aired down then can pop off the rims...not too bad when in the sand but can be dangerous on hwy
Max air pressure for those tires is 65#
Running them at 80# is OVER-Inflated ...smaller contact patch, not recommended for 80#
That is a 23% increase
Your own words:
These are way oversized for the truck (spec calls for minimum 9" rim width, mine are 8"
(and when rim width was questioned you replied)
I wouldn't either, but these were on the truck when I bought it.
Change rims and only air up to 65# MAX for MAX Load
