The trick to it all is in order to get an LT that has the same or similar load capacity to an ST is you usually have to upsize. For my application that meant stepping up to 16" wheels as well. I had 6 lug axles and you can find readily available 16" wheels for those. If you're running 5 lug axles you're pretty much stuck where you are as there aren't any readily available 16" 5 lug wheels. The LT swap works best going from 15" 6 lug wheels to 16" 6 lug wheels and putting on Lo-Pro Commercial LT tires. 8 lug axles you really need to do the math and make sure that you don't max out the LT's carrying capacity, other than that they are a direct swap.

Goodyear Endurance ahs a good reputation so far. Not all sizes and all LR are available but there is no problem in going from a LR-D (65 psi old tire) to a LE-E Goodyear and running 70 psi, assuming you are not over your GAWR as confirmed with truck stop scale reading for each axle.
