Gears

If I were to regear the rear end of my truck, since it is 4x4 would i also have to regear the front as well?

Huh? Whatever carrier setup you have in there now will be fine. All you need is the ring and pinion.

I've never heard of such a thing. My limited slip works just fine with my 4.56s. Maybe he thought you'd have to get a whole new carrier...
