Light towing during new gear break-in period

Hey guys,

I have a buddy putting in my 4.10 gears into my '02 4x2 4.7l this weekend. I know the break-in period for the gears is 500 miles of easy driving (no towing), but I was wondering if I could get away with towing my boat to the shop about two miles away during this period? It's going to take me over a month to finish the full break-in period and I would really like to have the boat worked on ASAP. I live in Sacramento and it's dead flat... what do you guys think if I go real easy on the gas? Boat and trailer are about 2800#. Not worth it?

Thanks for your input

Level ground, keep your speed down, no hard stops or fast starts. 2 miles? No problem.
