How long have you been riding on aftermarket springs?

Just wonder how long have you guys been running on aftermarket springs not including coilovers. Im going to instally my Progress Springs by the end of this week hopefully. Just wondering how long have you guys other there been riding on your aftermarket springs. I know there are no options yet as far as changing out our stock shocks. My cousin-in-law keeps telling me i'll bust my stock shocks with aftermarket springs. I want to get aftermarket shocks but I don't think there is any available as far as I know. Just wanted to ee how long I can possibly last with stock shocks. Also if you can tell me how many miles you've put on your stock shocks with the aftermarket springs. I commute to work a lot so I'm wondering if my commute is'nt going to kill my shocks quicker. My only other option is to go coilover which I don't have the money for.

I've had mine on since sometime in the summer. I say about 13000 miles or so on it. Still feels good to me.

hmgFIT will become famous soon enough
i've only had mine for 2 months with almost 2k on them, i commute 30minutes to work and back... drive my car all the times, Oklahoma streets has to be the top 10 worst streets i swear, but my shocks are just fine, im sure others will respond shortly. I wouldn't worry about the shocks at all if you're just normal/daily driving.

I have the Skunk2 Springs and have had them for about 9ish months and 25,000 miles. No problems at all and love them as much as day ONE.
