I've seen some places recommend replacing as often as 30k. In my opinion they should last a good 50k. Keep in mind that there is a big difference in a quality shock and the cheapo versions. Shocks are something that get neglected a lot. When I went to change the shocks on my 97 Expedition...with 208,000 miles it still had the factory originals. No one had ever changed them. They were SHOT. I've also had new ones fail with 10k miles. Buy a good lifetime warranted set and never worry about paying for them again.
Not until the truck starts bouncing. are the shocks go to leaking.
Stand on the front and rear bumbers, and bounce the truck up and down then jump off. the truck should bounce once are twice. If it bounces more then that, replace shocks.
Air shocks should be installed by a professional. You are dealing with high compression springs which can be fatal if handled incorrectly.
no,not truck shocks, but you can use spring helpers or you can order a lift kit for the front and for the rear you can get air shocks from your local parts supplier.

Yes, just like any other truck.
You should change engine oil in car or truck every 5,000 miles.

To replace shocks on the rear wheels of a pickup truck will cost around $100 for the shocks. Labor costs differ by region, but this job might take 1 to 2 hours. Labor could be as high as $100 an hour.
It should get at least 19 miles
Z71 is an options package with skid plates and different shocks.
