Front Struts Replacement?

Looking for input from anyone on when they replaced front struts. I have a 2016 1500, with 110,000 miles. I just do light-duty travel, and a smidge of light towing. I notice a bit more bounce when I hit a large chuckhole. I can’t move the truck at all when trying to manually bounce it like I could with a car and feel for excessive bounce.

If they are factory, they are likely due. Mine are absolutely shot, but I still don't really have any bounce just from pushing down on the bumper. The real issue is where the railroad crosses the highway and I hit that doing 60, and for about a second I'm just along for the ride as my tires have a seizure.

With that amount of miles it is time for replacement. For your use the Bilstein 5100's would work well. Message me if you would like a quote

My 2016 1500 hit 111,000mi and is currently in the shop getting bumper to bumper suspension swap. Out with the old in with the new. I would love the bilsten5100 but don’t drive it much anymore. I went with the monroe magnum strut and spring complete assembly. Will see how it rides after they swap everything out.

Struts/Shocks NEVER get any better as time/mileage goes on, so getting them replaced is the best and only option. 100k+ on ANY struts is a lot, just install new ones, your tires, your suspension components and your wallet will thank you later.

175k mi on my 2012...they're still good! However there is one rear which is 'starting' to leak a little (not bouncy yet). I bought new Mopar shocks to put on, when they finall do go.

Our kid's 2003 Grand Cherokee has 240k and they're still good. Those are mono-tube's though which tend to last a lot longer.

I wouldn't replace them unless they NEED it. Is it bouncy?
