Talking about closed chamber forks. A fork can be tuned for a particular application so obviously as part of the conversion the forks would be valved and sprung to suit the rider and purpose.

In terms of cost and time investment, having a reputable tuner set the 45mm zokes up would be the best approach. With open chamber forks most tuners can set them up well for a specific application easy enough, but the scope of their use isn't as broad as a well configured CC. For a plush woods bike that doesn't see too many big impacts it shouldn't be too hard at all.
