No. The front suspension is totally different. Cheapest way to lift a 98+ is a body lift. A torsion twist to level the front and a 3" body will fit 33's.

Unless you do as JohnnyO said and do either 1. Body Lift ~$150 or 2. Torsion bar crank ~free (cost of alignment). Other than that, bust out the wallet.

^^ you'll need to do both the bl and the tb crank to fit 33's easily, per JohnnyO.
look in the tech library link he referenced.

Yes. You are correct.
A TT and bodylift will fit 33's.
The Superlift kit will fit 33's.
You want to go higher than what? The late-model front end is not happy with tires larger than 33's. If you want to run 35's or larger then you need to learn how to change tie rod ends, ball joints, wheel bearings, busted CV's, and halfshafts if you don't already.
