100000 miles and the shocks should be changed no matter how rough the roads as they loose their durability after a while. Shocks will make the vehicle a little stiffer if your used to worn out shocks but it wont bounce as much when a bump is hit.

If your looking for comfort you may want to install a air ride system. It will be expensive.
