Yukon Denali air ride acting up, do I fix the magnetic suspension or just cut my losses?

Honestly I’m at a crossroads with my 2018 Yukon Denali because the magnetic ride control has started doing this weird thing where the front end floats over dips but then crashes hard over sharp bumps, and the dealer says it’ll be nearly 12 grand to replace everything which feels like throwing good money after bad at this mileage. I still owe a fair bit on it and the used market is unpredictable, so I spent a few evenings searching for alternatives and found a bunch of owners saying the actual struts can be sourced for way less if you find someone who rebuilds or replaces just the failed components instead of the whole system, and I ended up reading through a page that described GMC Suspension Service Dubai and how they approach these exact magneride issues from diagnosis to partial repair without instantly demanding a full swap. It gave me a little hope but I’m still torn because part of me thinks maybe it’s time to trade it in for something without all this expensive tech while the other part wonders if a good independent place could rejuvenate the ride for a couple more years, so I’d really love to hear if any other Denali or Escalade owners around here actually went the repair route on their magnetic suspension and whether it held up after the fix.
