He will be fine with 4.56's, especially if he drives on the freeway a lot. Plenty of guys out there in the 4x4 world running 4.56's with much much larger tires.

But yeah, install kits, and pinion bearings.

EDIT: That link is just the ring and pinion. You will need install kits which have the shims and seals, and pinion bearings to put on the new pinion.

do you want to replace all of the bearings and seals in your axles? If you want to and do not mind the cost get the overhaul. If you just want the bear minimum to install a ring and pinion then get the install kits. If you just go install kit then get pinion bearings too.
