OG TRD Suspension @ 247k

What do I need to replace first? Everything all at once? My mechanic told the previous owner the truck could use some new shocks but PO asked if they were leaking, got a no and decided to keep them. PO is an older guy, Vietnam vet, and he has been very disciplined/thorough with maintenance but has never taken it into hardcore offroading so I dont think he would have noticed if the suspension was getting a little worn down. I don't really intend to lift the truck, was contemplating buying bilstein 4600's to preserve the original look of the truck but wondering if more work is in store. I know this thread is uselss without pics but I've had the truck for less than a week so those will be getting posted at some point

Welcome to TW! Replacing all of the major components at the same time would be convenient so you know the mileage on them.
