I wouldn't do the 3:73,I'd run the 4:10 ratio to keep the rpms up. Carrying that much weight will cost you mileage and strain your engine topping hills and such with to high of a ratio gear.
With the truck in my sig and a 35' gooseneck I weigh in at 11.5k. At that weight I can top any hill running the same speed I started at the bottom with,and not get over 1100* on the pyro. That's mostly interstate driving running 70.
I'd almost be temped to run the low gears you have,just to see how she does
