Well I just did the old Google search and everything I am finding defiantly says that the "dip" started in 99. We must have both bought our vehicle that the previous owner swamped the front fascias. With that being said if you do decide to do the swap it's very easy all I needed was the grille, bumper and bumper mounts that mount the bumped to the frame.
The dip they are talking about on the 99-02 is the dip down in the front bumper making the grille area larger. The dip on the 97-98 is noticed when standing beside the truck looking across the front of the truck and the grille has a little inset dip in line with the ford emblem. The one most people refer to though is the dip down into the bumper on the 99-02 models.
