Default Ride getting stiffer with time?

My truck just turned 100,000 miles, I've had it since 65,000. I swear the ride is getting stiffer, not that it really brothers me, its a truck after all.

However I was wondering if it is because something is wearing out that needs to be replaced? The struts are still the factory ones however once they wear out the truck should ride softer so that doesn't make any sense to me.

Any ideas? Or am I going crazy?

As the struts and shocks wear out there will be less dampening. Bumps will be harsher and the truck will float up and down
Put on a new set of quick struts and shocks to bring the ride back to good. Many different brands available. Take a look at Amazon for some Monroes or other brands.
