Nope. I put 4:56 in my old D35c 3:55 and did not have to change anything.

I was under the impression you had to change carriers after 4.10... but maybe you can you the deep 4.56 gear set.

there are different carrier breaks for different axles.
the 35 being 3.55 and up.
the d30 is 3.73 and up
and the d44 is 3.92 and up...

The ring gears & pinions fit together at 90*... as the pinion tooth count gets small (lower ratios-higher #) the ring gear is offset by the carrier more (less?) than with lower # gears.
The 'break' is the limit as to what gears will work on a certain carrier.

You want 4.56:1 and you have 3.55:1. Since the D35 is 3.55 and UP, you are OK there. The front 30 OTOH is 3.73 and UP, you will need to get another carrier for the lower gear ratio.
Hope this made sense, it was a pre-coffee answer

just to add a little bit. as the pinion gear gets smaller you have to move the ring gear closer to keep the teeth in mesh.
either the ring gear gets really thick or the mounting flange is cast with more offset. if you wnat a pic I can show you.
