Bern,
You have a nice truck..
I don't think you'll have any trouble unless you push your luck on the highway.... Just assume that you're a little overloaded, and drive it carefully...
I have pulled more with less...

i had one with the 4l60e. get the 4l80e. i towed 6,000 pounds and tore it out 3 times. it was under the tow rating, but the constant shifting burned up the bands.
