your sig says bd short throw, so im guessing you have a standard.
i wouldnt be scared to tow in 3x? or so. if you can tell its getting a little warm, kick it down to 2. But you shouldn't have any problems with 3klbs.
(if it was me, i would tow on kill. but im not advising anyone to do that

)Just watch the gauges and you will be ok. Remember that a lot of us properly valved guys tow heavy, BOMBed heavily. We just watch the gauges.

Yeah, as long as you keep an eye on the pyro, and keep the temps reasonable you will be fine. And remember that RPM won't hurt your engine, don't be afraid to drop a gear and pull hills in 4th if you need to.
