Time to replace shocks??

I have almost 19,000 mls on my crew cab. Should I repace the front shocks soon?? probably going to go with the Bilstiens.

I'd say they come from the factory needing shocks.

Typical GM "Ocean like ride" characteristics.

Here are some threads to check:

Leaking shocks

Bilstein Shocks

Zr2 Heavy Duty front shocks.

Pro Comp 9000 Shocks

Shock Tock

When I went to tech school, we were told OEM shocks cost about .99 to make. Almost all vehicles come home from the dealer needing new shocks!
