How long have you ridden on your stock shocks with aftermarket springs?

Just wondering. Please say whats springs you have and approximately how many miles you have gone on them.

I have skunk2's, but I think as long as you do not auto -x or drive like a crazy man on massive backroads they should last around 50k atleast. I do mostly highway driving and I am not worried about the shocks.

I drove 8000 km shocks were still fine but had cupping on inner tread since the shock couldn't control the oscillations that well. My tire was skipping over some surfaces oh ya I was on prokit
