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.

Thank you for the advice. Will bilstein 5100 be as good? I also want to add enough lift to accomodate 265/70/R17 tires (standard size 265/65/R17)
