Well of course, that would be nice. But not a neccesity. Properly geared 44/60 or something like that will do. The rest is up to the owners discression.

as mentioned before, you'll need to swap the rear, beef the front, and regear
bare minimum you could probably do 8.8 rear and leave the front end open and be ok on 37's with 4.88 gears
feel free to ask question I apologize for being rude

I run 4.56 gears with 36s and wish I had 4.88s if that says anything.
