If you are going with anything bigger then 35's then go with the 4.88's.

The two links below have a ton of info in them. The first one covers a lot of the basics, and the second one is a link on how to do it yourself.

Yes if you are changing you will have to do them both. You can do the rear first and drive around for a while on it if you are unsure which one you want to go with. Just make sure you don't use 4 wheel drive if you use it say good by to some very expensive parts. And a good overall estimate for everything done and said is around 1400-1500. Not cheap but it will save a ton of headaches down the road.
