Gear ratio available in 1970 on 4X4s ?

Just picked up my 70 Blazer project, and was disappointed to find a 3.08 tag on the front diff. The front is a Dana 44 which was easy to determine, and I assume the rear is a GM 12 bolt but have not confirmed.
The truck sits on 33X12.5 tires, and because I plan on installing an overdrive transmission, 3.08 will be way too stiff.
Did they really put 3.08 gears in the 70 Blazers? I thought for sure it would have a 3.73 at minimum.
Also, if I decide to change to something like a 4.10 gear, will the carrier have to be changed?
Thanks
