Thank you.

They can be worn/failing depending on how the truck has been used throughout it's life. An immediate indicator would be uneven heights @ each side. Ride quality would be another (too soft/too stiff).
If you feel they might be suspect, it can't hurt to replace them w/fresh parts.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
