If I do swamp them out, will the vehicle feel more solid over bumps and potholes?

It really depends what you want and what you put on it.

The twin tube OEM shocks can last a very long time, but they do not work well even when brand new LOL. This design is such that they may not leak for eons even as they provide mediocre dampening since Day 1.

Monotube shocks, by contrast, can leak much more easily and die a very quick death in result. This makes them "honest" as I put it for you have a clear cut boundary between works/fails. With twin tubes, they rarely fail but then again did they ever really work?

If you like them, keep them. I could not stand mine even on road and they were a joke off road. But tastes and desires vary.
