Default lt80 frame, bent???

Has anyone bent the frame on their Lt80. I have been chasing a problem on my sons for a year now. When you lift up the front end, it seems as if the right shock extends before you actually get the wheels off of the ground.

I have swapped shocks, a-arms, spindles and it always seems to be the right wheel. Now I had some guy at a local Suzuki dealer tell me it's normal due to the way the a-arms mount in the frame. But I just purchased another Lt, older one the other day for $175 and it doesn't do it nearly as much, very little. I even swapped complete front ends, and as many different combos as I could come up with and still got the same results.

any ideas?

Take teh wheels and shocks/springs off and lay the frame on level concrete.. next measure the mount tabs for teh a-arms and shocks/springs to that surface.. If it is bent, it will be apparent Draw some reference marks on the concrete with chalk and start measuring. It should all be equal from side to side.
