I'll third replacing them. But I don't operate like a lot of folks. If I notice something that looks like it could even remotely present a problem while on the road, I replace it right then. Breaking down on the road can make a $100 job quickly turn into 5 times that or more, not to mention the work I missed.
ODR, Caterpillar Cowboy, Ruthless and 1 other person Thank this. -
I'd like to formally thank that post.
"It'll hold for a while.." usually comes before
"####! That cost me several days wages all said n done!"ODR, Caterpillar Cowboy, wore out and 1 other person Thank this. -
I agree with replacement. However before you spend a whole bunch of money on that particular suspension look at upgrade options.
There are parts that are no longer available for the AG200ShooterK2 Thanks this. -
Dirty-Low-Walker Thanks this.

If you have time and do your own work buy one from the dealer so you have a spare and hawk the internet with the part number from the purchase. -
Another thing to think about going the direction of replacing them now before they blow out on the road...
If you blow one 100 miles from nowhere, and your truck has a valve to dump your air ride, you can dump your air and keep driving it dead stick until you can get it fixed, but doing so you are running your driveshaft, u joints, pinions and 3rd members at angles they are not intended to, this does not put a smile on those components faces. I have about 4 hours experience total just driving a KW 8 bagger, so I'm not sure how picky they are about driveline angles, but I do know my way around a Pete Air Track pretty well and they are pretty sensitive as I recall.
