Arrow New rear gears or reprogram computer?

I got a '96 F-150 and Im about to put 33 in tires on it. I was wondering do I need to reprogram the computer, and if so where and how do I do that?, or could I put new gears in the rear and that will do? Any help will be great.

You need to reprogram the speedo, and more gearing is a good idea unless you already have 4.10's.

Will the dealer ship reprogram it, and how much might that cost?
