hey doc i have to replace seals in my thumps forks and am wondering if they might blow again or is there something i can do (heavier seals/ springs, diff forks?) to ensure some the new seals will last longer

Did you replace the fork seals with stock fork seals ?

I rebuilt my thumpys fork forks with better seals from a transmition joint that just do o-rings and seals the standard clear blue fork seals were from memory 20x12.5 and i put 20x12 in the shocks was hard to get back together but bloody awsome havn't had any blown fork seals yet was a bit stiff at first , they shock wouldn't move at all i had to swing up and down forcing them to bed in, but im very happy with my results.

stock stuff on the left , my shyt on the right
