I would just in casedave carpenter said:
sounds like it needs skidframe work, try to loosen the rear skid shock up till you have 1 inch of thread left, put FRA adjuster to medium, let out the front limiter strap adjusters till it wheelies too much, then go back slightly, also you can take some pressure off the front ski shocks and this will make the front of the track bite more.

That's what I was thinking I did a little adjusting yesterday just waiting for snow

Sorry to dig up an older thread, but being a 275# myself I am curious about what worked for you Chad. I have 2 9/16 inches threads showing on my rear shock and 2 7/16 inches showing on the middle (which seems like zero preload). That spring when removed seemed to want to rattle, and from what I have read that's exactly where people say to start.
Both shocks are on their way to Pioneer Performance to be rebuilt and revalved. I am going to replace any bushings that seem sloppy. I am replacing the shattered W/arm and adding a set of Bender adjustable transfer rods. So I just wanted a starting point.

Just FYI - I have a 1" aggressor with 1.175 woodys and I've notched the lugs where they were contacting the front HE protectors (a solid lug) and have no marks on the front exchanger, but the rear exchanger DOES have stud marks on it. I too like to run the track as loose as possible but have been forced to tighten it up. Since tightening, I haven't seen any additional stud marks (painted the exchanger to allow a better visual of new stud marks) and yes I am running the rear protectors as well as a Viper skid.
