Loved hearing them work driving to fast up some old skidder trail. Now with sxs and 4 wheeler I only change if I notice I need new ones which I'm overdue for on my truck.

If your shocks are worn out you will feel the same bump multiple times. A new shock will have pressure pushing it extended, an old shock will not.
