Monroe or KYB?

I'm still happy with my ride. Its been 4-5 months now

Thanks. I think I'll end up going with the Quickstruts and gas a justs when I do them. I really liked the upgrade of the gas a justs on my old Pathfinder. Hopefully the Monroe Quickstruts will firm up the front end a bit as well, and don't wear out too quick.

If your factory rear shocks are not leaking nor show any signs of loss in performance, you mind as well just leave them if you are considering replacing them with twin-tube design shocks. Monotube shocks offer better performance and heat dissipation and are an upgrade over twin-tubes.
I keep my air bags around 13 PSI during everyday driving. I check the pressure with a digital gauge once every month but they never seem to lose any air. They definitely improve the ride over bumps. The rear suspension of the R51s is a bit soft and even modest bumps in the road will cause the rear suspension to bottom out. The air bags prevent that from happening and deaden the blow quite a bit.

Do you get any amount of lift using the airbags?

I haven't had any.
