i have 2012 Apex XTX and just added aggressive sno tracker I have a slight to medium push in the corners and think I need some add more ski pressure. Should I tighten up the limiter straps one hole or loosen front skid shock? Maybe something else?
 
Are you running the stock skies?
If yes the tuners with snow trackers will still push a bit in the corners.
 
That explains the push, the snow builds up between the keels and causes the sled to push through the corners.

You can try adding weight to the skis by what you said in your first post or by tightening up the front shocks a bit but snow trackers instructions are to have minimal ski pressure as possible.

I too had tuner skis with snow trackers, also went through a bunch of aftermarket skis without having a good handling sled, than I took the advice from guys on here saying to go with the old Yamaha single keel ski with aggressive snow trackers and I can’t thank those guy enough, precise handling and steering is an understatement on the trails.

hi I believe 2012 have single keel
 
Sorry my mistake dual keel skis came on the later years.

How much spring pressure do you have on your front shocks?
