Okay I'll go against the grain a little bit. The lift...meh. It's only 3". My truck more than a 3" lift taller than an equivalent truck from a few years ago. Granted that's stock versus aftermarket. I don't know the specifics of the lift you're doing, but if it's a quality manufacturer and setup I don't see much of a problem.
The tires I'd be a little more hesitant about just because you're losing capacity and PSI which will likely add some squirm. I would think you could find a similar size tire to the one you're going to with a closer to stock weight rating at 80 psi so you might look into that some. But that said based on the weights you're posting you don't appear to be overloading the lower rated tires. I've never had any experience with pro comp tires so I don't have an opinion there.
I'm not in the camp that says you can't tow safely with a reasonable lift and reasonably larger than stock tires...you just need to do your homework.
