Question - if the front XREAS struts are shot, does that mean I have to either replace them with XREAS struts or replace all struts with regular ones, like Bilstein 5100?
Thanks!
Time crunch due to sale on 275/65-18 Duratracs but I’m trying to minimize strut and coil replacements due to limited funds.

If any of the XREAS shocks are leaking at all they need to be replaced, not just the fronts, all of them due to age.
You can replace them with OEM XREAS shocks...but they are very expensive, most simply do away with them and replace with standard shocks.
I know that's not what you wanted to hear but it's the facts...you should be fine to replace them later if the ride feels OK for now and wait for them too get worst to replace which gives you time to save some money to do so, just keep an eye on your tire wear in the meantime.
