If you were to install brand new factory 3rd Gen springs, how would they last before they start to sag?

I don't like the sag, but I don't want a lift.

i dont really know maybe 15 years?
one thing i do know is it depends heavily on how and how often you use them. they will get tired a lot faster if your gonna be wheelin and flexin it a lot and if your just cruisin on the road they will go for a lot longer

The '99 springs seem to hold up better. A lot depends on whether you are wheeling it, carrying a load or towing. All will put stress on the springs. Having owned a 2nd gen since new & observed many 3rd gen sagging, there seems to be some luck involved as to whether or not they sag.
