The 2500HD had 130k on them and the 3500 had 40k with a 1k plow hanging off the front for 5 months a year .It is literally ridden hard and put away wet .
As a reference , the OEM shocks on the 2500HD had less than 20k when removed . You could move them up and down with 2 fingers .
Just one mans experience .
