I have weighed my fully loaded '87 (with tag axle) -
Front axle weight = 11,760#
The load range G (11r24.5, single) is rated for 6610# at 105 psi . . . . . . that is 13,200# for the axle, which is also the axle rating.
Load range H (11r24.5, single) is 7160# for 120 psi -- 14320#
SO, while a load G tire will work, I'm going to get load range H to have a larger safety margin.
