Take a look at the 2011 Towing Guide linked below.
Scroll down to page 31. There's a table with the codes for the various rear axles, and below the table is a picture of what the sticker on your door will look like - you can see that the axle code is at the bottom of the sticker.
Also, other good info for towing is on the sticker - your truck's GVWR and GAWRs.
The tire pressure sticker will have probably the most important spec you'll want to know - the PAYLOAD CAPACITY of your truck - it will say something like "weight of passengers and cargo should never exceed xxxx lbs". The payload capacity is with the truck completely empty except for a full tank of gas. If there are mods that have added weight since delivery of the truck (tonneau cover, bed liner, etc.) subtract their weight from the weight on the sticker.
