Question Tire questions

I am wanting to go up a few sizes with the tires, and add a lift, but tires are the question at hand. I know i should put on load range E tires (we pull a camper) but when looking at the load ratings of some of the tires the range D is higher than the E of a smaller size...

So basically my question is will a load range D tire of larger size and higher load rating than a smaller range E tire be safe.

Hey there. Personally and speaking from my experiance I have the 315 tires on 16's and the 6 inch lift works..... only rub when i make HARD lock to lock turns Very slight run on the springs,,, The BFG AT is a 315 tire that measures 33.5 high when sitting there....
