Ofcourse I can look at maintenance booklet for all they will do, but what would be additional that I should consider.

I expect to have the following done (some being additional to a std schedule maintenance) : engine oil, oil filter, air filter, plugs, micro filter, ac gas check, transmission fluid, diff fluid, flush coolant?, v belt, and all the usual checks and retorqueing suspension components?

I will need to change tires soon and the Revo's have done well at 45,000miles, still alot of tread but have just become annoyingly noisey and cupped and handling is getting light and bouncy, gets really unsettled on uneven pavement and tends to grab ruts in the road, I would think this is partly tires and partly wear on the steering and suspension?

How long would shocks typically last, vehicle has done near zero towing and mostly highway miles. What should I consider replacing to get it buttoned down again, control arms/bushes? different shocks?
I want to back to a highway tire that doesnt look too smooth as the all terrains really dont suite my use.

IMHO that's a great list...

New tires always ride better... XREAS seems lose it's zip between 75k-120k. You're in that range.

Not many have mentioned components other than XREAS shocks at your mileage rang. Of course there's a wide variation with useage. If you're Luke Duke's long lost uncle then you may need more. XREAS is very expensive to replace. See this thread for an option. Here too...

As for tires, i'd recommend the conti cross contact lx. I have them on both my 3rd and 4th gens. pretty good all season tire. As for the shocks, dont you have the xreas on the sport edition? suppose to last forever ?? lol j/k I havent seen anyone service the xreas yet.
