So around 25-30% power train loss which is normal. If I re-geared the rear end to 4.10 I would have no problem towing it at highway speeds, even be able to use the over drive on the highway.

You'll have to re-gear both the front and rear pumpkins if you have 4wd.
I don't understand though. Like I said, I have the same engine in my 98' and I tow at around 70-75 with no problems on I95 when I can get away with it.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
