I don't see your final drive ratio. If it isn't 410 or 456, you are over heating the trans. Heat FRYS clutches. A shift kit would help but if you are not familiar with rebuilding, have a pro do it.
I have enjoyed 3 Suburbans in my life. Each had 350 engines, auto trans and 2.73 axles. They were my family stationwagon. None were really "pullers", but I did. Although no long hauls.
None were 4x4 and I did not have electric brake controller or even surge brakes. Asking for trouble? YES! But, I drove accordingly.
First, no hard launches. Two, I did manual shifts of the automatic transmission. Your transmission hydraulic pressure is higher in manual low. If 3rd gear was too high, I drove in 2nd. Watch heat gauge. Transmission temperatures over 200 degrees are damaging.
To stop, I let off long before needing to stop and did manual down shifts. No tailgating. The engine braking helped stop.
Since those days I have tried to have trucks equipped to handle what I want to pull. I do not pull that often anymore but I can handle most of what I want to haul.
I now have a 2018 Silverado 1500 4x4. It is the 5.3L variable displacement V8. It has E rated tires and electric brake controller. It has air bag suspension aid on the rear axle.
I have a 6.5 foot slide in camper that weighs 1300 pounds and I pull a 24', 10,000 GVW inclosed trailer.
This set-up has handled all that I want to do. I do NOT overload. I watch my speed and I watch my temperature gauge. I do NOT hesitate to use lower gears. Yes, sometimes my gas mileage sucks.
I don't drive alot, anymore. Next month I will have owned the truck 3 years and it has just over 30,000 miles.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
