Just look for a used set to have rebuilt. They pop up every now and then on here and on Facebook groups.
My friend recently acquired this 2018 and it may need shock replacement. Rebuilding them seems a good choice since we have a trusted shop here. The new brake pads and xd wheels are getting installed this week and shock job will be next.

I have a 2018 (so not the live valve) and just did the fronts with 70K miles.
I researched a couple of online advertisers that rebuild (hammer was one, texas off road was another) and after shipping, etc. it was around $500 for the pair of fronts (like $900 for all 4), and found a local shop that rebuilds Fox and Kings for $400 per pair. The killer for me was the wait time, from 3 weeks to 2 months, and that's me taking off mine to have rebuilt and being out that time.
I went ahead and bought a complete pair new with Geiser 2.5" coils and did it my self. All of the shock parts with new dust boots, top hats, nuts came in just about $950 for parts, the springs were another $599. I had a local tire/suspension shop install the springs for $125 (I tried 2 different compressors, the old school outside jaws were dangerously flexing, the cage style was bending before I could get the Geisers even close to fitting).
Install from start to finish after springs on was just under 3 hours....that's changing truck/jeep around putting on jack stands, tool prep and clean up. Best quote I got from a shop to do it with me providing all the parts was $600.

I did consider Fox 3.0s, but the best price for the fronts alone was $2700, so after everything with new OE/Geisers I am into it $1,624 for complete front setup and parts.

What top hats did you go with? and what was the total lift to the front end with the Geiser 2.5s?
