Default Summit climbing stand ?

I've owned a summit viper for 5yrs now. I'm in the process of redoing the stand. Re-painting it from worn spots, exposing the shiny metal. My cables are the concern. I'vereplaced sections of shrink tubing on the cables a few times now, and thinking I should either just re-shrink tube the full length of both cables, or replace them. Obviously new shrink tubing is the cheaper route. I weigh about 185lbs, and wonder if replacing them is really necessary. I have no rust or visual signs of wear on the metal cables or fasteners. I really don't see a cable breaking. Is their a norm or period of time they need to be replaced?
