Help.. gearing stupidity

Ok so I've never changed out gearing and want to know A.how much trouble I'm getting myself into...... or B: which ratio works well for you.
Bought a manual 350, 71 K5 earlier this year and it currently has 3.08. It feels dog slow off the line but has great power once rpm's are up. I'm currently running 33's w 4 in. suspention lift. I really don't want to get totally into rock crawling since the truck a fun family 4wheeling\camping type machine. So if I want to possibly run 35's in the future, but still have some type of highway capability; would you all recommend 4.11 or 4.56?
