Just curious; why replace shocks on a new truck?

Tires/wheels...because you need the capacity...safety is one thing...but replacing (almost) new shocks?

This is a simple answer. My shocks are a year old..they a valved to give a smooth ride and are "soft". Last weekend I replaced them with new Bilstein 5100's. I noticed the change as soon as I went over a speed bump, no longer did it bounce up and down like I had hydros. Still a comfortable ride but just more under control.
Next weekend Ill post up what its like with a camper on the back.
