Default Possible to replace factory air shocks with regular shock/strut?

Got an 06 with factory air shocks. All of the air shocks need to be replaced. Is it Possible to just put in factory shocks or struts?

If you're asking if you can use regular shocks with the airbags on your car then no.

has anyone found a source for the air shock suspensions like the UL came with that's a lot less than the dealer? I had two of mine replaced by the dealer at 108k miles, I've added nearly 100k miles with no issues but wondered about that expense item as it's probably the biggest one you can expect on a car equipped with that option.
