Default Leaky TLT shocks

Is there anything I can do to keep 'em from leaking?
I've still got some shock oil left from the kit, maby enough for a few more fillups.

Replace the O rings??
And when you do lube the pistion shafts threads so you dont tear the new rings. The TLTs shocks tend to be on the leaky side anyhow. And due to the size of the pistion and shaft vs the shock bodys internal volume you need a lot of air in there for proper movement otherwise you blow the seals and the shocks will leak as well.
Beast bet save up for some 4" shocks from some stadium truck or tmaxx
