Sounds like you have a plan! I will mention that they don't make a 3" BL for the second gens only the first. The first gen can be made to work with a second gen but then you will have to fab up your own bumper brackets and possibly a few other small things. Just go with a 2" and you will be happy. And do some searching there are more than a few threads related to the 4x4 issues with these things. Keep us updated!!

Mines a 98 also and pretty much want do the same stuff as you. I already have the cold air intake safari rack debadged and 4offroad lights on the rack. I also replaced the stock fan with an electric one with an adjustable thermostats. Adds a few more horsepower. Ill put up pictures when I get home from work

Thanks. I didnt know about that. Two inches is still plenty.
Newguy, was installing the efan hard? What one did you get?

What safari rack did you get?

not sure of brand, got it on craigslist. Think its a yakima
