My better half has back issues so ride is important. Air bags did help the ride both loaded (20-25#) and empty (5-8#). RR tracks and pot hole are the biggest offenders.
I am interested in an air ride conversion but don't have the dollars at this point.
Example
Porsche or Country Coach!
If there's a WILL, I want to be in it!

I dropped the rear tire pressure to 65 to match the front as the truck was empty until camping season, only went a little ways and the tpms alerted me to a low tire, tpms is set for 80 rear 65 front.

On my F350, there is no "airing the rear tires down". The placard calls for 80psi all the time. But I don't mind the ride. I only notice how stiff it is when I'm on a really bad road or when I'm going over a speed bump. I would not hesitate to use it as my daily driver.
Then that's your choice, the tire manufacturer would tell you that you are overinflated running 80 psi empty and are more prone to road hazard tire failures.
Are you sure there isn't a second sticker? Maybe on a different part of the door?
It's not a choice, and you're guessing what the tire mfg will say based on your lack of information. There is only one placard. 65PSI front, 80PSI rear. That is also what the dealer sets it to when he does the service on it.

Not to start a brand war but if ride quality is a big consideration you might test drive a GM 3500. In my experience the ride is much nicer than the comparable Ford products.
