checking suspension componets

I'm evaluating a truck this weekend to see if i like it enough to buy it. Is there a way to test the suspension componets to see if they need replaced? the only thing i can think of is the obvious bounce the corners....anything else? i've been told jacked up trucks ride pretty rough, and this sucker is tall. as in, tall. thanks guys.

my truck rides on 36's and the ride is fine, i can adjust my shocks to whatever firmness i like (RS9000's), but there is nothing bad about the ride of my truck. to test the ride quality i can only say drive it around and just see how it feels.
