Bad shock mount. Warranty or upgrade?

So as I am scratching things off my list to replace in the rear to fix the noise I found the shock mounts are loose, okay Pat actually noticed. I called 4wp I have the warranty on the lift kit. When I told them what was happening he said they would charge me shipping and handling to return them. $20-25 I think. My question is if I should just replace them with Bilsteins. Right now I have the es3000 or something like that. I looked on shockwarehouse and the bilsteins are like 69.50 and I know we get a discount I am not sure how much... What should I do... Would worn out shock or shock mounts cause noise when flexing?

Bilsteins? Would a bad shock mount make any type of noise?

Kings would be amazing, if they didn't cost a lot. I am not even sure how much they cost but I am sure it is more then the Bilsteins
