Default Gearing help

So I'm kind of retarded when it comes to gearing and all that nonsense. I want to re-gear my truck to 4.56's but have no clue where to even begin. What EXACTLY do i need to buy to re-gear it? is it just the ring and pinion? Or is there a lot more that I'd need?

Ring and pinion

I suggest a master install kit (comes with carrier bearings, pinion bearings, shims, crush sleeves, pinion seal, gear marking compound etc...)

I suggest a spare inner pinion bearing to make a setup bearing

Might as well do the axle seals

And gear oil

Done... As long as you have the tools and know how haha
