BUT when the wife jumps on she complains of a sore back, i know there are adjustment points but what direction do i go to help this some, or is there no help, i wieght 220 and she wieghts 100, like i said rides ok for me as i am not right on top of tire.

Do your shocks look like:


If you move the cam to where its at its lowest point (closer to the spring), that will soften the ride. Moving it away from the spring will stiffen it.
