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
