Is your truck a 4x4 or 2x4? Reason I ask is that there is no torsion bars on a 4x4. I don't think there are any on a 2x4 either. I think that didn't start until 2002.

Unless you are a hardcore off-roader, stock brake lines and control arms are fine with 3". Anything over that usually requires new control arms and bump stops.
You will want something for the rear since 3" in the front will make it nose high. You can go with either an add-a-leaf or a taller replacement block. I recommend aal though.
