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.

When should you replace the shocks on a 2001 suburban?
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 the vehicle bounces after it is heavily leaned on, it is a sign the shocks are worn. Drivers who tackle rough often will need to replace shocks more frequently than those who drive regularly on highways. Most manufacturers recommend a shock replacement about every 55,000 miles.

Can you replace zw7 shocks on a 2003 Tahoe with standard shocks?
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.
