    In the front yes. You will still have to lift the back as the shocks will not change your ride height in the rear.

    ^^^yes only in the front with the bilsteins set at max 2.5in. It will ride like shit though. The rear your gonna need at least a 1 inch plus to keep it level, this would require shackles, aal or blocks

    Oh ya definately. I would buy wheel spacers just to be on the safe side after trimming the pinch weld.

    Pull the fender liner back and beat the pinch weld over and flat with a hammer-done. In the back get a set of 1.5-2" shackles, install them with proper bolts and you're golden.
