I have similar tow vehicle as you (OP) only a 2014.
Same running gear and 4x4.
The suspension is fine and tows a 5500 (CAT) weight fine.
The only downside is the 5.0 works hard pulling a long grade.
3rd gear at 3000 rpm and 50 mph and needs 2nd gear at 4000 rpm and 35 mph if long and steep.
The diesels will blow by you but you will get to the top and eventually down hill.
