I had the same problem with my first 1500 truck and I also ran 3rd gear in a 4 spd auto trans and it worked fine but I would rather have had 4.10s. I never knew anyone who didn't like 4.10s. or even lower, for towing. I loved them in my 03 CTD and I wish I could have found my 12 CTD with them but the 3.73 are a very good in-between for loaded and empty. You'll see a big improvement in acceleration and the truck will do everything easier.
