Which BL to get?

Which BL to get?
So after seeing fordranger.com's truck, I have decided to definetly do the bl. He has 265/75/16 tires, which is what I have and I think it looks awesome with the 3"bl. I like the gap in the wheel wells better than the crammed look.
If I order from summit, the kit is $215, the manual extension is $35, and the gap guards are $60 (I know I can make my own but they will come out like crap). So, about $300+ shipping. Seams kind of steep for a bl, does anyone know of another sight to get a cheaper bl?
Couple questions about the bl... Is there anyone near CT that could help me put it on? I could drive to someone's house.
Will it be harder or wierd to shift with the extension?
Will I notice a big difference on the highway and feel like Im going to tip?
Does it affect anything in a negative way? like stress on certain parts like stretched hoses and such?
And fordranger.com could you post a few pics?
Thanks all, I appreciate the help.
Heres my truck as it sits

I found this one:

But it says 98-2000, will it still work?

lol sorry blackedge, I didn't mean to make anyone mad, I have done a lot of searching and reading, and I just have a few simple specific questions. I have read that the summit and pa kit are the same, but I called summit and they said there are different parts and the summit will not work on my 03, also some people have said they were missing certain parts such as extensions.
Mainly, I am wondering if there's anyone around CT, like in MA where I could drive to to get some help installing it, I have a small garage with basic tools, No room to work in though.

I read that the summit kit does not come with the e brake bracket or the brackets for tranny cooler, is this a big deal? I need my ebrake since its a manual.
I was also wondering if people have problems overheating, since the radiator is no longer in front of the grill, it will be behind the valence and not have all that air flow.

So the ebrake will still work fine without the bracket, and what about tranny cooler? Do i need that bracket? The pics I see of bl's looks like the radiators are sticking out the bottom. The radiator doesn't come up with the body right? I just don't want to cause any problems in the long run. If noone's bl has cause problems and the summit kit will work, Im going to go ahead and order it.
