skiing park lately has really been fucking up my legs..ive had salomon 1080 boots for like 4 seasons and i ride them pretty much as tight as i can get them and after a few hard landings the backs of my legs will start hurting real bad...would the booster strap help this from happening so often or are my boots just too big

Too big. you realized this after 4 years? Usually booster straps work and help a lot but I've only used them on proper fitting boots. New boots?

Well after 4 years they're probably all packed-out and shit. 

I'd vote for new boots.

the shell of your boots is still good after 4 years. i would suggest getting some full tilt liners and boosters. not as much $$$ as new boots

^^ I've always been told 60-90 days is about all you get per shell. I use my boots for two years typically, I would go longer though.

Do you have the green salomon boots with like the orange buckles? I do and they are a bitch.

Those are probably people that want your money. Boots can last MUCH longer than that.
