Default Shocks

I have a 99GS400 with the orginal shocks on it. It has 126,000 miles and going stroing. My question is what are some signs of the shocks wearing?

I heard if you push down on the front end the car should come up and stop, that means there still good. I can start to feel the road through the steering wheel and doesnt seem to have the firmness when going over bumps.

My car is all orginal, not looking to lower, so any recommendations on shocks is welcomed.

any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks!
