My small blind fold to steal (FTS) is 87.6 and my big blind FTS is 84.3    I realize I need to plug this leak but what's the best way?  I'm thinking that 3 betting out of the small blind and just flat calling in the big blind with the idea of stealing on the flop might be a good plan…

any advice?

I'm no expert, but I get pretty good results 3-betting from both blinds.  I feel like it tells a better story to re-raise. I get a lot of folds right there.  If I don't get a fold pre-flop, it gets the stealer in the mindset that I have a good hand from the beginning, which makes it easier to convince him to give up later.

This is player-dependent, of course.  I'm going to raise a guy who is 40%+ to steal a lot more often than someone who is 20% or less.  I'm currently at 25NL, and different stakes probably play differently.
