Thanks for the help here. After more test driving and paying even more close attention to how my truck handles and behaves I believe my Reflex shocks are OK for now. They do have some wear, but they are not leaking and the truck rides very well on normal, relatively smooth roads. I thought maybe I needed new shocks because I noticed it was a lot more bumpy on a trip I took this past Saturday. The road I was on when I noticed the rough ride was in pretty bad shape itself. I know the bounce test does not always apply to every vehicle, but my truck passes the bounce test at all 4 corners. I rocked each corner up and down about 5 times as hard as I could and when I let go they still bounced up one time and came to a perfect stop.
I am going to leave well enough alone for the time being, but I thought about it a lot and read a lot of reviews on shocks. Whenever I do have to replace my shocks I will very likely buy a set of the Gabriel Ultra's. There are a lot of good reviews on those and I figure if I did not like the SensaTracs before, I won't like them in the future and I should buy a better shock and not have to worry about it later. The Reflex do have a lifetime warranty, but I can't get another set for my Dakota. Warranty or not, I got my money's worth out of them. As long as my Reflex shocks hold out OK I am leaving them alone.
Thanks for all of the help on this.
