I'll bet you can tow that just fine.
I'd add the 1 ton leaf and stops if you can get them cheap. Holes are in the frane, just bolt on the stops with grade 8's and get new U-bolts for the axle. I'd get the 1 ton 4" spacer blocks if you can, too, and well heck, add the sway bar while you're at it if you don't have one.

Truck will handle it fine but your going to want to chip the truck and open up the intake and exhaust. Your gonna be 20k plus loaded and hurting bad on hills if you stay stock. Suspension wise I would recomend air bags. They make night and day difference even when pulling small loads
