Welcome aboard! Most of the '04 -'05 guys started out the exact same way so you're in good company. I had the Autospring 2" spacer and the Bilsteins at one time and both were great. I personally like 18" - 20" rims sizes as in my opinion, the sidewall to rim ratio just looks great. As for BS, my Helo Maxx's were 18x9 with 5.4" BS. Below is with Nitto Terra Grapps 325/60R18 (~33"). The tires are much wider than the rim so look at the rim lip in relation to the fender flare:
My current set up with Diamo Karats 18x10 w/ 4.5" BS with 35x12.50 ProComp XTreme ATs:
Finally, this is the comparo between the two tire widths:
Hopefully there is info here that's useful.

Correct lol and from whtvi have heard and read the billsteins come with two settings stock or a 2 inch level so I will have them on the level position and i know for a fact 05 and older usually take like a 2.5 inch cause of more sagging I mean I have been searching and and searching for months that's why I finally decided to make a thread
I thought it took more to level a 04-05 because from the factory, most 04-05s have 1 more leaf in the rear than 06-08s and more rake as the rear sets up higher? 
Hey .... I just work here .... not.
