I have been fighting this all season, new track at the end of last year and I know they will stretch for a while, but it seem like everytime I get home, I have a nother 1/2 " to 1 " of defflection. Eventually im gonna run outta adjustment don't you think? I just replace the W bracket and all bushing and thought i might have had this problem licked. I'm a big guy 6'2" 260Lbs. was wondering if I need to increase the spring pressure some more. I have the ride exactly where i want it but i would sacrifice comfort for the track.
 

If you adjusted it according to the service manual, you shouldnt be racheting,
Unless something else is wrong, Are the drivers good? Track aligned correctly?
SHock condition? I am 6'4" 200 lbs with same track and have never had a problem racheting..

Drivers are good and track is aligned, I think I will check the rear shock it may be the culprit. I raised the limiter another 1/2 inch and the front shock a 1/2 inch. It is better than I was but I don't want to ride a lumber wagon either. Thanks for the ideas.
