body lift is easy, just follow inst. and take your time. it took me an afternoon.
the shackles are far more a pain in the a$$ then the body lift in my opinion.
t-crank i wouldnt go more then 1.5 inch, easy to do.

search there is a how to floating around here somewhere for t-crank and shackles.

i would go with moog ball joints,
the cv boots will most likely slip off, when they do, you can use an adjustable clamp to hold them down after repacking them. i did that over a year ago and no issues. cheap 3 dollar fix.

check summit or ebay, you wont be able to find a 3" lift for second gen.
i don't believe anyone even makes one.
