Upping Squat - Help me fix it!!

So I would venture to say my 1rm is about 275. I have been doing the westside template posted in the powerlifting section and I usually end my max effort day with 245 or 255 parallel box squats. I have been stuck here for a little while though. I seem to get stuck in the first 3 inches or so when I start going up off the box. I don't think it is a lower back problem, I can DL around 335. What do you think the weak link here is and what specific excercises would I benefit most from? I personally feel that I have weak hams, but wanted to see what everyone else thinks. FYI - Usually parallel, or 1-3 inches below parallel box squats. 14-16 inch apart stance.
