New struts going on..replace strut mount?

This week im replacing the struts after 60,000 miles. Do most replace the strut mounts at the same time or is this just overkill?

If your talking about the welded-on mounts, NO. If your talking about something else-define.

Are those even a part for your truck??? Didn't see it listed anywhere. Besides, your truck does not have struts. It's called a coil-over. Many folks will say it's a strut, and many web sites are bad about labeling them as such but it is incorrect. A strut and coil-over are apples and oranges.
