I have 50k on mine and they desperately need to be changed, but that's going to have to wait till at LEAST Christmas. I am big into firearms now and I think I'm going to add a black powder to my collection The ATF doesn't consider them firearms

I have just under 78k on my original shocks and they are not going to get changed until next spring. And by then they should have almost 100k on them the way I am racking up miles on my truck.

Changed mine at 26k and they were completely shot. The rears werent working at all. Completly dead. The stock shocks are garbage. The Bilsteins are 1000% better all around.

Just put Bilsteins on this Saturday. 58,000 miles on the stock shocks. The rear end was hopping all over the place when I would hit bumps. Rides much better now.
