Hi All, Going to replace my 5th wheel tires with LT (not looking to enter the ST versus LT debate with this thread). As the sizes are different, looking at clearence issues. I currently have 235/80...

I don't have a chart handy but the ST has a higher load carrying capacity than a simalar LT. Like others said you only raise it by half inch approx.
The higher load carrying capacity is due to speed restriction on 65MPH and lower testing standards. OP said he did not want to get into that discussion! He most like already is aware of the short comings of ST tires.
His trailer has a GVWR of just over 10K and 4400 axles. LT tires rated to 2680 will serve him well and will out last ST tires by two or three times.
