Brake pad life on 4th Gen

After my 30K service I replaced a daystar top spacer and swapped the rear spacer with a NE spacer. While doing it I decided to replace my brake pads front and rear.

I was surprised to find my front had 60% left andmy rear 80%. See pic below of front. I'm not exactly the slowest driver and did a number of pretty steep mountain drives and offroading as well. My expectation for these pads are 60k front and probably 90k rear. Not bad at all for a 4500lb SUV with a pretty potent V8.
