Bummer, that would have given us a little more clarity.

Ok, here is what I do, but don't shoot the messenger!

If you look at the Rockauto pictures of the KYB shocks.. one pair says with 3rd row, the other pair says without.

The "with 3rd row" shocks look shorter than the "without 3rd row" shocks in the Rockauto pictures. To my understanding there are only tall and short upper shock mounts. If you have air suspension and no 3rd row seat, and you assume my vehicle came built like yours (I have short upper shock mounts, are suspension, no 3rd row), and the Rockauto pictures are accurate, then you would have the short upper shock mounts and need the shorter shocks. In this case, I would go for the KYB's on closeout, which are the "with 3rd row seating" KYB option. I would probably buy the with 3rd row and without 3rd row shocks are return what you don't use. Rockauto might have restrictions on returning closeouts, but it's only a $60 buck loss if the short shocks don't work out.

Let us know what happens if you move forward!
