If you go to an LT tire you will have a choice of ratings. If you stick to a "C" rated tire you will improve towing ability over the stock P rated tires with minor affect on ride quality. Going to a D or E rating can severely decrease ride quality and is kind of pointless as the ratings for those tires would be way above what the rest of the truck is capable of anyways.
The problem I've found is that the tires I'm interested in only come in p-metric and LT/E (specifically, Michelin MS/2 and AT/2). The weight of the p-metric in my size is 42 lbs ea, where the LT/E is 48 lbs. Not much different. From their load tables, the E tires can be run at the same pressures as a C, but you're right that I'd never run full pressure in LT/E tire on a 1500 truck. Likely 60 psi max. The cost on these particular tires isn't a lot different either.
