Default My 04's stock hitch has a label stating it can only pull 5000 lbs

The OEM hitch on my 04 SC (with trailer tow option) has a label stating the maximum towing capacity is 5000 lbs without a weight distribution hitch and 9500 lbs with a WD hitch.

I don't have a WD hitch and been towing as much as 5500 lbs. Have I been overloading my hitch?
