Oleo question

I understand if the oleo pressures on the skids aren't correct it is a good reason for the severe ground rock. When I ran up to check the new Tempest plugs I almost rocked off the platform and moved the platform about a foot. I can't see the oleos because there are what are suppose to be clear dust boots added on, but they turned semi-opaque yellow. The measuring stick doesn't make sense to me because extenders are also installed. So I'm not sure if my oleos are correct. When I pull down on the tail the rear oleos collapse, but don't spring back up and when I get into the cabin none of the oleos move. Should they? What is your advise for pressures with just me mostly, 220 lbs, full fuel, and occasional passenger? When I pull on the tail should the front oleos move?
