Is a regear worth it?

Is a regear worth it?
I know there are a lot of threads about this but I can't really find anything that pertains to what I want.
I have a 2013 FX4 with the base package. I believe it has the max tow package because I remember that being a large factor in my purchase but I also kind of remember it having 3.55 axles, I'm gonna check for sure later when I get the chance but I'm looking to add bilsteins and put a larger tire on. I wanna get the biggest tire I can fit with a 12.50 width and little to no rubbing so I think it's gonna end up being around 34" or maybe 35". If I do have the 3.55 is it really worth it to regear to something larger? I want to do everything I can to preserve the longevity so if that's a big factor in regearing then I guess I would wait and save for that.
thanks for the help

I would say no.
How long do you plan on keeping the truck?
Do you plan on doing it for low end torque/power?

I'm in college now and plan on driving this truck well over 100,000 miles and I don't know what boat I will eventually have, I guess I could always regear later if I thought it was necessary for towing. I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't take a major performance hit or have a negative effect on the transmission or anything
