Reply to My Lincoln Navigator feels like a boat – time for new shocks? on Invalid Date

I've got a 2016 Lincoln Navigator that I absolutely love for family road trips, but lately the ride has gotten super floaty and bouncy, especially on the highway. Every time we hit an expansion joint or a dip in the road, the car keeps rocking back and forth for way longer than it should. My wife gets car sick easily and she's started refusing to sit in the back because of the motion. I'm pretty sure the original shocks are still on the car at 130,000km so they're definitely due. I found a place online that does the Veteran Lincoln Shock Absorber Replacement in Suspension Repair Dubai and they seem to know the Navigator's air suspension system which I think mine has because I can hear a pump running sometimes when I start the car. Does anyone know if the standard Navigator has air on all four corners or just the rear? Also has anyone replaced these with aftermarket parts instead of dealer parts? The dealer quote made my eyes water but I also don't want to put cheap stuff in and have it fail in a year. Mostly I just want the ride to feel planted again and for my wife to stop complaining every time we go over a speed bump. Any advice on brands or what I should expect to pay would be amazing. Also how long does the job usually take? Can't be without the car for a week because we use it daily for school runs. Thanks.
