Towing with these trucks?

So...
I'm just curious, but what would you tow with one of these trucks?
I'm running an LS type 4.8 / 4L60E / stock rear end, 12" front brakes & hydroboost.
My first thought was "Hey, if the Silverado with this setup was good to 9,000 lbs, mine should be too" but I'm beginning to reconsider. Rear diff strength, engine cooling fan capacity, kingpin front end vs the new IFS, etc...
Any rules of thumb on how to gauge the capacity for this or is it a SWAG (scientific wild @$$ guess) situation?
