I've seen some places recommend replacing as often as 30k. In my opinion they should last a good 50k. Keep in mind that there is a big difference in a quality shock and the cheapo versions. Shocks are something that get neglected a lot. When I went to change the shocks on my 97 Expedition...with 208,000 miles it still had the factory originals. No one had ever changed them. They were SHOT. I've also had new ones fail with 10k miles. Buy a good lifetime warranted set and never worry about paying for them again.
