What seems to be the average lifespan for Bilstein 5100 shocks? I have roughly 120k miles on my pair with Cognito 4-6" NTBD kit. Going to replace factory UCA's w/Kryptonite kit. Seem to have better reviews than Cognito UCA. Debating if I should replace shocks too while I'm in there. If I do, it will likely be with Fox Mono Tube's (FOX-PSMT-4NTFK-GM8L-2001). Need to drive on the beach & feel if they're warm. If anything, bushings are likely toast. Front end sounds like a damn tool box taking a ride down a flight of stairs. Wheel bearings & tierods okay. Ball joints gone. 225k miles. Will either replace factory LCA ball joints or entire LCA. No real need to replace entire LCA - correct?
