You have to change both front and rear gears. As for what ratio, I would think at least 4:56 but that is just a guess. Someone else on here probably would know what you need to do.

It wouldn't be something I would try to do if you don't know what your doing no would have a shop do it if it was me. Just my 2 cents.

It's not cheap $250x2 for gears, $150x2 for major install kits, 6-8hrs@$75 perhr labor per diff, Gear oil, If you add lsd or lockers $450-$1000 per diff. Hope to blazes they or you don't find anything else wrong or broke when installing the gears. For those tires 4:88 is were I would be.
