LT just means light Truck Tire. But an LT can be a number of different load ranges. What changes is the load ranges from C,D,E etc. Typically a D tire will have a max inflation around 45, whereas an E will have a max inflation around 65 and F around 80, though some Es carry high max inflation numbers. This does affect maximum load capacity that a tire can handle and you should match your load range to the inflation chart, but long and short, most door stickers carry inflation recommendations based on max GVW to insulate the manufacturer. Few people run their pickus anywhere close to max GVW and thus lower inflation is the proper choice.
I can't see the load range spec or max inflatrion pressure on his particular tire but if he can, that will give him a good idea what load range it is.
