Default changing differential gearing

I need some expert answers. I want to change my 2009 GMC 2500 HD from 3.73 differential gearing to 4.10 I assume I need to change both front and rear gears. Do I just need to change the ring gear or what? Can some please help I need to haul a little heavier load than is recommended for the 3.73 gearing. My engine is 6.0 gas. I received such a good price on this vehicle I could not passit up. Thank you rtrvler you could email me also at rtrvler@msn.com

The ring and pinion will need to be changed out for both the front and rear. Have you thought about a tune for your truck?? Those help so much for added power. They cost roughly about $300.
