Well if its 4wd you most likely have 4.10 or 4.30 gears
This is right in the FAQ:
AXLE- Gear ratios
Axle code found on door jamb
A10A = 4.10
A11A = 4.30
4.10's usually came in manual transmission 4x4 trucks, 4.30's in auto transmission 4x4 trucks.

6,000lbs is over the weight rating of the truck, its only rated to tow about 5,000lbs. I would make sure you have a trans cooler, and overdrive off..

WHat I am saying is it wont make much difference if the truck itself is only designed to tow a max load of 5,000lbs. It will tow it, but boy it wont like it at all.
Good luck with it if you try..
