Default How Long do Bistein shocks last?

I have 70k on a set of Strano Bilstien shocks for Eibach pro-kit springs. The rear end seems to bottom out more than it used to, and seems more bouncy that it should. The front of the car seems fine. Should I expect these rear shocks to wear out with 70k miles? How can you tell for sure when you need new ones? Thanks.

Generally Bilsteins last for 100K or longer. If you are bottoming out you might have destroyed one.
