Default PRC springs w/ .560 lift = ? mileage

Curious if you guys can give an educated guess on how much miles you can get on PRC springs with a comp cam with .560 lift?
Thanks

That depends on the lobes, valvetrain weight, how you drive the car, whats the max you spin the motor to, if the motor is ever over revved....a lot of things. Its hard to say, so I would just pull 2 random springs off every couple thousand miles and check.

I have had the PRC Double Springs on my .595 lift for two years (12k) with no problems.

The cam is a 214/218 with .559/.562 lift, shift points are set at 5900 rpm. I was hoping I could get 50,000 miles out of them since it's a mild cam in a pickup.
Thanks

Just an FYI I got 40k+ out of a set of Manley single springs with a T1 (221/221 .558/.558). That being said, you should be good.
