it has 28 inch swamp lites on stock rims. I trimmed the foot wells and it helped a bit, i can't see where else its rubbing. i think the solution is wheel spacers but I'm not sure. some one must of run into this problem if you have can you help me?

Seems to me the Gen2 frame machines will rub the rear shocks with stock rims and bigger rubber...

It sounds like plastic rubbing I'm going to give wheel spacers a try! I think it's the front wheel wells that rub turning over bumps.

Make sure at the very least your springs are cranked up on the highest preload. Pines Powersports in PA, Sask sells spring spacers to stiffen up the suspension as well....they run 29 and 30" rubber on their machines.
