If they're still good why replacing them, unless you want to try aftermarket shocks?
I've seen several people with leaking shock (1) at 50-60K, myself included.

Stock shocks really don't last more than 20,000 or so. You just wouldn't notice unless you replaced them.

If you change them you will notice a significant improvement in ride quality and handling.
