changing gears

My truck was bought with a 4.6 with 3.55 rearend, it had 235/70/16 tires when I first got it. It now has 265/75/16 for tires ,I recently purchased 4.10 gears , will this be a good combination for towing my 25 ft fifth wheel camper.

i think so. you have enough overdrive to lower the rpms for normal driving and when towing a 4.6 can handle a little higher rpms cause its a SOHC, they like to rev more. sounds like a plan to me, just dont burn up the trans towing to much, also run a big trans cooler.
