Fork seals blowing

Ok guys. I am on my second set of fork seals in 3k miles. They were installed correctly by a bike mechanic. I was wondering if there was stiffer internal springs for the forks. I'm pushing 270lb and was wondering if I'm just pushing the limits of the springs. And I'm learning stopies so in not real easy on the forks.

Lmk guys
