Default 05 4x4 Gear swap

I have an 05 tahoe with 4x4. Im going to be running 22"-24" wheels and was thinking of going with a lower gear ratio than stock. Is changing the front gears going to be hell or has anyone done this before?

It's not hell, but it's not as easy as the rear. Just take it to somebody that has experience with them.
