They became fairly standardized after 1982. Just about all 1/2 ton 4WDs are going to have 3.08s or 3.42s.
As to running 9.50s in the winter? I'd never do it. They can make a death trap out of a pickup on ice and snow. For winter driving the smaller and narrower tires work better. A 225/75-15 or 235/75-15 will run circles around those fatter tires in bad weather. Stop a heck of a lot better too. I've got pile sof 9.50s and 10.50s laying around, some almost new. They're awful in the winter and rob fuel mileage in the summer. All show and no other truly useful purpose except maybe for mud and sand bogging.
You said " 9:50-30-15", so I assume you mean a 9.5" wide tire by 30" diameter. The standard 235/75-15" tires are 29" diameter and 6.5" to 7" wide and much better in bad weather.
My crappy little Subaru 4WD wagon with 185/70-13" tires will do better then any of my big trucks as long as it gets ground clearance over the snow.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
