No, running 93 octane won't hurt anything. Unless you are pinging,
there really isn't any reason to run it, but it won't cause damage.

Although I don't have any personal experience with those headers, I
suspect they probably will. I am pretty sure they are a "shorty" style
header and as such will connect to your stock down tubes. I can't think
of anything in front of the down tubes that changed from '97 to '98 or
is different for a 4x4 or 4x2. You might want to give Summit a call or
e-mail them to ask, chances are they just have not tried them on a '98+.
