Default Rear end swap question

I would like to swap the rear drums out for disc. Would it be better to get a complete rear end with the ratio that I want or get the parts needs to make my drums disc and regear my rear end in my truck now? I would like to go from the 3.23 to a 4.10 or a 3.73. Should I stay with a 2wd or a 4wd rear end? Thanks
