IF you are staying with 31s then,No I would not regear. Save your money for another upgrade.

FWIW-
I run 31X10.5 on my 99 w/auto and 3.55 gears; it is OK. I ASSUME you have a Chy. 8.25 with 29 spline? With 31's gas mileage suffers and so will low-end. I installed a SYE, 4" lift, etc. I intially said I would not go larger than 31's, now I am planning on 33's and am planning on regearing to 4.56 and lockers.
If I was not going larger w/ my DD I would not regear, but would use 3rd vs. OD more.

I run 30s on stock and frequently wish I was running 4.10 in the mountains of Utah.
On flat ground, this thing still accelerates well.
No balls up hill though.
