Shocks are oil filled, so if you see oil on the shock body or drips on the ground, replace immieditly. Other than that, it's really hard to say since the way a shock dampens degrades slowly over time and is not noticed. Also, the type of vehicle and the way it's used will also contribute to the shocks life. If you are in doubt, take it to your favorite mechanic and ask his advice.

Shocks should be replaced once obvious wear is noticed, such as the Suburban taking bumps in the road harder, and taking longer to recover.

If you replace the manual leveling shocks on the rear with regular shocks you also have to replace the rear coil springs with stiffer ones. Use gm part #15182559 or bilstein part #199021 to replace the coil springs. The coil springs that come with the manual leveling shocks are not stiff enough to use with regular shocks, causing the rear end to droop.
