If the bushings are intact, shock isn't leaking, and (if a strut assembly) the bearing isn't worn, then you'll have a hard time convincing anyone to replace their shocks.

Shocks are generally wear and tear items, the vehicle warranty generally doesn't apply to them unless there are defects. So no, I wouldn't expect the dealership to do anything, nor would I ask them to.
Edit: The OP asked for opinions on how much life is remaining in his shocks. I left my experience as only that, my experience, not as a stated fact. I know shocks can go longer than 40k miles, but as I said, in my experience, they're not too effective beyond that mileage and I [personally] replace them at that point to maintain ride quality. Nothing makes a car feel more like new than new shocks (and tires).
