Lots of people have replaced theirs with the grease-able type. Once installed, being grease-able, they should last longer. See if yours have any play to them; if not, no rush.
Some people have gone so far as to use rubberized ones although I'm not sure who's supposed to benefit from the supposedly gentler ride. They don't make your truck into a Cadillac.
Whether to do it yourself or not depends on you. It's not a complex job but caution is required. This video takes you through the process. Hopefully your trailer is not so beat up you need to use a torch.
