The beefiest axle in that truck was the TTB Dana50. You may have that axle, but if I'm not mistaken you could also have an HD TTB Dana44 (a little lighter duty). The differential housing should have either "44" or "50" stamped on the rear side of it.
I would imagine the diesels had a heavier spring up front than the gassers.
Posting the front axle code or google searching it could be revealing too.

There are so many variables that effect a vehicles GVWR that it's impossible to accurately answer your question. Spring rates, transmission, engine, gear ratios and axles all effect how much your truck was rated to safely tow.
