Is this a DIY project?
I recently lifted my Excursion and I need to regear from 3.73 non-limited slip to a 4.10 Limited slip. Is this something I can do in my driveway? If so where can I find some instructions on this?

Theres also alot of specialty tools needed. Dial indicator with magnetic base, pinion depth checkers and lot of other stuff.
Not to mention if there setup wrong they will whine and cry and more than likely give out quick.
So unless you know sombody who has the tools and knows how to do gears. Go to a shop

You need all of the above tools but also need to have some good knowledge on gear about setting endplay, backlash and so on. From there you need to apply marking grease and determine of you set up an acceptable wear pattern on the gears. If you don't feel 100% confident on your skills with that, have a shop do it.
