Alright I am finally saved enough for my lift! First a bit on me...... I do a lot of offroading, occasional little jumps, and long highway drives to get to these places. I would like to gain about 4.5-5" of ground clearance with this lift and tires.......oh and I also searched first

I have some TrXus MT 33x12.5x16 tires ordered, and I have the OME912 springs, and plan on flipping the BJ's. Now I am looking at getting rear shocks. I am looking at these

Bilstein 5150 series
Part Number: BF5-A195-H1 (22.50" ext. 14.17" compressed)

Shock Q's
Will they work? Will my springs fall out when flexed? What would be the ideal shock measurements compressed/extended? I love the stiff ride the VX has now, and I want to keep it that way so is the valving stiff enough? What valving should I look for? Do i want some kind of spacer in there to prevent the spring coming out?

Lifting Q's
Will the 2.5" lift be enough for the tires? If I wanted some more clearance (extra 1" if needed) what is the best way of doing it? And where can I find the part?

Wheel Q's
What would be the best offset for wheels to make the tires fit? Right now I have a set of 16x10 wheels with a -24 offset, can I make these work cheaper then buying new rims?

If anyone can answer all these questions I will ....
