As far as the tranny temp goes, that can be solved with a monster tranny cooler. Some people also swear by a deep, finned aluminum tranny pan. For occasional towing, you'll never get back the cost of the gear change. Also, with changing the gears, there's a bit of technical knowledge and labor involved, and for best results, some special gauges are needed to set up the gears, especially in the IFS axle. If you're really intent on changing the gears, the ideal thing would be a swap of axles with someone wanting to go the other way.. Also, the engine computer may be happier with a different chip, if the axle ratio is changed. The speedometer will be "off", I forget the details of correcting that, it will probably require a DRAC module. So for occasional towing, adding a big cooler is a great idea, and changing the axle ratio is a somewhat difficult, costly option that will take a very long time to pay back.
