Front Gear Change Question

I've got a '90 K-10 stepside.
When I bought it the 4" lift kit was already done. The lift was professionally installed by a company in Denver.
The previous owner didn't change the gears for the taller tires. It still has the original 3:42 in the rear and matching in the front so it has a lot of top end speed but it's really kind of a dog when I want to pull a trailer.
I've rebuilt Ford 9" race differentials, and am rebuilding a Mopar 8 3/4 differential right now.
Question...
With moderate mechanical ability, should I attempt to replace the front and rear gears in my 4X4 or take it to a shop? I've never been into the front axle of any 4X4.
Here are a couple pics.
