What is a ballpark lifespan of, say, a Fox 32 F-Series RL fork, and a Fox Float RP-2?

Thanks in advance

I'd avoid the shock covers and stanchion covers, they will trap dirt in between and will have a worse wear rate than what you get without them.

They will last a long time depending on how well you keep them maintained. The F100 I have on the dmr is a 2007 and it's still going strong.
