rear shocks

I replaced the original rear shocks at ~63k miles with Bilstein shocks. Yesterday I noticed that one of them leaked its oil, after ~65k miles (2.5 years). Is this how long they last? Is there something that lasts longer?

Well, Bilstein has a lifetime warranty. So I paid $23 to ship the broken part back and 1 hour of my time to actually replace it. I guess I'm good for another 60k miles.
