Need suggestion with shocks-2012 Suburban

So, I have a 2012 Suburban 1500 4x4, and it just hit 71,000k miles. Original shocks on rear, original struts on front.

Ride is seeming a littler rougher that what it should be.

I DO NOT TOW my TT with this suburban, its my wifes DD.
Debating on what to replace with. I loved the Bilsteins that I put on my truck a few years ago, but it seems Bilstein doesn't even sell the strut assembly for the front for my Suburban. However, I can get the Bilsteins for the rears.
Debating on just getting the NAPA/Monroe OEM replacements, as they can sell me the struts for the front, and shocks for the year.
Opinions?

Normal life cycle of shocks has them wear out the sealing areas of both piston to cylinder walls and/or the valving (if they are valued). So they lose their ability to dampen...meaning loss of control

To ride rougher...telling me that maybe, your vehicle has the GM smart shocks with metalized fluid...VERY EXPENSIVE to replace

Guessing that the control is "leaky" and turning on the flux field to magnetize the fluid...thereby increasing viscosity...to make the shock ride rougher....

Another tell...does it have auto ride height ?
