Default Getting a raise.

I have future plans to lift my 95 2WD 3" and do it myself. Can anyone give me some insight as to what I'm in for and what I might need as far as tools?

A little more info would help, as in what kit you've decided on. but for the most part only just your basic hand tools as in sockets and wrenches a floor jack and stands for only a 3in lift. An air compressor and impact would help. Penetrating oil and maybe a map gas hand torch and a minimum of two weeks researching the forums, there's more info than you can wrap you head around on these pages.

Breaker bar with "extension" goes a long way

Lol. Read some build threads here. Lots of information is contained inside them.

Also do you live where road salt is a concern?

No road salt in Southeast Texas. Just chems and crushed gravel. Maybe some sand but, the beaches and coastal fishing areas have salty sand.
