Should have caught this writing my post, but of course your C20 Longhorn has a Dana 60 they all did IIRC. When a C20 was optioned with rear leaf springs a Dana 60 (H055) replaced the standard GM H052. Since a C20 Longhorn used the leafs as standard equipment the Dana 60 also became standard.
What is interesting is the manuals I have checked (service and driver's) all show only the 5200lb rating for the rear axle on a CS-CE21034 even though it has the heavier 5500lb rated axle. The kicker here is the truck VIN plates I reviewed also show a 5500lb rating as max for the rear axle.
So it is reasonable to assume that a 5500lb max rear axle rating applies to your truck given HD springs and suitable tires.

Myself I am still looking for "the" C30 to get the extra payload. But then I plan at running 9k+ all up.
