Default 98-01 Body Lift in a 2008 Ranger?

Long story short, I bought some tires that are a little too big (285/75r16) and am considering a body lift. I have a 98-01 kit available to me for a decent price, are there the same number of cab and bed mounts on the 98-01's as a 2008 or will I have issues? Id assume bumper brackets are different so would have to fab something up but thats ok. Thanks!

Number of bed bolts may differ. My 02 has 6 and I think newer trucks have a few more. Other than that above is correct, same kit.

pretty sure the first year for the extra bed bolts was 09 or 10.
