Yes you would have to change both, I would not do my own because if not exact, it will cost a lot to come back from and because it will cause more hassle than it is worth.

Alright, moving on.
Moving from 3.08 gears to 3.55 will increase your acceleration, make towing/hauling easier, and make your truck funner to drive. With a 300 pushing a 1/2 ton truck you will probably notice a small MPG increase if you do alot of freeway driving.
Like has been said, what do you use the truck for?
