62k km's (almost 40k miles) on mine and the truck still rides fine. I might be starting to notice a little more bounce in the rear over bumps, but no need to change them yet IMO.

Um... I still have my factory shocks. 140,000 miles on them. The front two are leaking and the two in the rear barely work anymore. Speed bumps are really unpleasant now.

I've done so much maintenance to my truck in the past two years to ensure that it will never stop running. I was going to replace the shocks earlier this year, but I dropped $900 on my upper and lower ball joints, alignment, and a coolant exchange, so the shocks got pushed back.

Shocks are the last thing I need to do to my truck and it will be good as new. I'm planning on some Rancho RS5000s.

I think I may have had the least on the original shocks...only 1500 miles and then changed out for Bilstein 5100's

My stockers went 85k, and my truck gets abused a lot. Lots of offroad use, lots of county roads with major potholes...those shocks got beat up. I would get out of my 04 and drive my dads new 08 and his truck rode 100x better because his shocks weren't shot.

I just recently put the lift on with brand new Fabtech shocks. It rides so smooth now once again.
