is it okay if XREAS is disabled.
my dealer said one of the front struts (and therefore the crossed rear) need replacement, so the accumulator line also does. quoted ~$2500 for that alone.
if any one can help:
I want new shocks all around, light duty only. preferably with some lift as I'm getting new.
have 2006 4WD sport edition limited with ~140k miles.

get rid of the xreas... not worth $2500. using standard shock will "disable" the xreas since all the xreas shocks & parts are replaced.
for light duty road use or even light duty off road the best value option IMO are the KYB, there are lots of recent threads on here about replacing xreas & its not a difficult job to do, you just undo the lines at the check valves about 10" away from the shock & install new shocks, the lines & blocks can be left alone or easily removed.
the kyb front coil over shocks come fully assembled with new coil springs so its an easy bolt in replacement. & due to the ~10% stiffer springs they do provide a little lift over stock, not fully level but definitely raises the front closer to the rear. order correct 4WD shocks for your vehicle & be sure to note the fronts are left & right side specific.
