You are partially correct because as gear ratio lowers, lower #, the tow rating also drops. A 3.42 ratio truck isn't rated to pull the same as a 4.10 ratio truck.
To the OP, tow it a bit and see how it does but I think you'd be happier with a different ratio plus its going to be easier on your equipment with 3.73 or 4.10s.
Tow rating for a 2015, 3500 LB dually crew cab. I'm sure 16s maybe a little different but this gives you an idea. Hopefully you have a dually!
3.42 --#16660
3.73---#18860
4.10---#21660
