GY-LT says 3024. Could be a misprint.
GY-ST is 3420. So the LT is rated lower numerically on the sidewall.

No reason for confusion.
Or are you trying to choose the absolute lowest rated tire for the scale weight of the axle?
Would you go lower rated on your truck based on scale weight?
Good luck with that.
Yes, size for size the LT is rated lower than an ST. That said, if the weight I am carrying on the LT doesn't exceed it capacity. I will take an LT rated tire any day of the week.
If NC Hauler is concerned, he can go to a "G" rated tire and rim. I just don't see that is is needed, I will be replacing my tires some time this year due to age, not failure.
