I got 35's on a 6" lift and stock gears with the 4.6 and my truck does pretty good so don't worry about it unless you really dont like the power after everything is done.

You'll lose some power. You don't have to regear if you don't want to. Your motor and tranny is just working harder moving the bigger tires.
If you regear 4.56 is ideal, and it's usually $1800 for both front and rear installed.. lil pricey.
My buddy has 6" lift and 35" tires and he runs with me just fine and I have stock tire size and Gryphon.
