Default Lifetime on aftermarket suspension?

How many miles would you think an aftermarket suspension would last.. give or take.. I'm talking shocks, coils, control arms etc..

It depends on what kit and how you wheel it ( mud, rocks, sand etc..). The big thing is bushings that come on some of the control arms don't last to long.

really depends on which suspension and how you drive it. i actually had a skyjacker kit on my XJ and beat the total piss out of it and the only thing i was ever able to break weren't parts of the lift. i think i put about 80-100k miles on it before selling it. i also had a rock krawler lift in my WJ and was a little more tender with it (gettin old) but not much and it was doing well when i sold that too, though i probably only had about 30k on that lift.
