  Setting up a tele for slide

I have a very nice ASAT "Tribute" tele style guitar that I want to use exclusively for slide. It is currently very well set up for normal playing and has a set of 10s on it.

I want to change the strings to a set of 13-53 I ordered from SOB and also want to know what I need to do to accomodate these strings and to optimize it for slide.

Can I do the mods myself (is it as simple as changing the strings and letting the new tension rasie the action?) or do you all reccomend taking it to a guitar tech?

I plan to use Open E tuning for the most part but may do some Open A as well.

Thanks
