Lamps and fuses blowing usually indicate either a bad earth (ground) or too low a fuse rating. 2x55w will require at least a 10amp but better to be a 15amp fuse. 2x100w will require at least a 20amp, better a 25amp.

what are you gonna do with the bumpers. IMO its not worth it to go with hockey pucks. Cause by the time you buy the pucks and all new harware your not saving that much. Plus your bumpers are still lower and its not a full 2in.

with 2" of lift on a 2wd drive youll be able to fit 30's for sure but i think you might have to do some minor trimming for 31's
