same amount of air in the tires? could the plastic possibly be out of wack? ever roll it or flip it? On level ground measure from the ground to the floor boards on each side and this will tell you if its your frame out of wack, or just the plastics.

Measure your shocks and springs on each side to make sure they are the same. The large ATV's have a tendancy to have spring sag from the dry weight of the machine over a period of time. You may need to replace sprins and or shocks or both.

It may also be that the shock settings are lower on one side allowing the sag. But ineither case measure the length of your shock center of bolt to center of bolt sitting on level ground. Compare your measurements. If they are the same I would look at plastic and or Frame.
