9 inch Ford Rebuild

I need help!!! I recently installed a 9 inch in my 1990 F-150 4x4.
I have to change gears from a 2.75 to a 3.50 ratio. I have never done this, but have most tools, except the dial indicator. Is there a way to do this with out this particular tool, or do I really need this? PLEASE,PLEASE HELP!!!

Setting up gears is a very precise & delicate procedure, so I would recommend you pay a pro to do it. You can borrow an indicator from a parts store (usually by leaving a full deposit) and read how to do it here. The specs are here.
