Josh: Not a huge difference in size there, so changes to your pressure would be more modest than mine were. See if you can talk him of of load/inflation charts for the two tire sizes and you can work thing out more accurately.

UPDATE:
Went in this morning and talked to the guy and he was kind of an a!!hole. Told me that no way in hell should I be running then at 30 psi. I told him that YOUR guy told me this information....he quickly moved on to another topic ....I told him about my problem I was having about the ride I was getting out of them. Then he repeatedly told me that he said that those LT's were way to much for my truck and should have gotten the P. I had to remind him again that this tire was a factory option and that a load range C met the F-150's needs but I was not expecting this kind of a ride change out of it. The only thing he was willing to do was to put the same tire on in P for an additonal 200.00 I told him NO WAY If I would have gone with them at first it would have cost 150.00 less then the LT's now you want to charge 200 more then them???.....So I left.
I went to another store and I actully got some were with this manger.....Skip past the everything and I ended up getting the Michelin LTX's A/T 2 in 265/70/17 for 145.00 more then the At/s....Which is alot better of a tire for less then the AT/S in P.
All I can say is WOW......feels like a whole new truck now. The road vib is gone, nice and smooth, ride is great. No more holding my spleen from falling out and uncontrollable head bobbing!!
I don't have any pic's of them on my truck yet but here are a few I found in case any of you was wondering what they look like on a F-150

sorry they ride rough for you...and that Service Manager is an idiot.
He needs to be corrected before he kills someone. A reference to the whole Exploder/Firestone incident in the South in 2000-2001 should be enough. Heat + low PSI is just dangerous
another option might be the Goodyear Silent Armour. I just bought them for my SUV on Friday. A P-265/70/17 (32" tall). They ride very very nicely and are a world of improvement over the Wrangler SR/A they replaced. Supposedly the Silent Armour is the new version of the Wrangler AT/S.
edit: wonder why your ride is that rough though. I run 45 psi up front and 42/43 psi out back....been that way since new, and they are wearing just about perfectly for me

Question: I have the Silent Armor's too. What do you inflate them too? The rating on the sidewall is something ridiculous like 50psi. So do you follow the tire's psi or ford's psi rating of the stock tire?

you follow what the tire says. the sticker on the door jam is for the OEM tires only...and honestly, there are enough different options, that I would completely ignore that sticker.
I don't know what mine are at right now. They look properly inflated and the ride is awesome...so I've had no reason to mess with them. At about 1,000 miles I'll check the wear and adjust the PSI as necessary
