    I'd say it depends on where you live (road conditions/weather) and how you drive. If you're out in the woods or on trails often I'm quite sure it will reduce shock life.

    Welcome! :thumbsup:

    I think stock Toyota suspension starts to suck around 30,000 miles and only gets worse from there but that is probably just me. But every Toyota I have ever owned has been like that. I feel it's an area they cut corners on.
