Any one having issues with the tracks hitting the fenders on a 2007 kodiac?

We just installed the camso T4S, and started having trouble going over bumps, the fenders hit and brought down the sides with 2 people. So we fixed that then raised the struts. The 2nd try going in fresh snow its amazing, then bumps my husband got off fixed the metal, then had to go home. He took the foot plastic off, made a metal small one to make do. Tried that its alot better but still once in awhile he needs to lift it. But its working the kinks out, next is a spacer.

Anyone have any suggestions or ideas how to fix it so 2 people can go and have fun and not worry bout if it happens again? It's not as much fun if you don't take the other half lol

So first have you adjusted the preload on the shocks all the way up ? To carry both your weight .

Your problem is too much weight on the Kodiak. Your Kodiak was designed for a single rider and once you put two of you up on the seat it is overloaded, unless you are a couple of lightweights. I have had this problem for years when I am riding my brother in law around with me while hunting. We are both over 220 lbs so I have to pick my routes very careful so that I don't bottom out or have other problems.

Your solution would be to find some shocks with springs that will handle the extra weight, but with these your normal riding with a single person may suffer with it being so stiff. I have no idea of where you might find these shocks but good luck with it.

Just to rule out something - are you sure that your tracks are on right? Not mounted backwards, or having the fronts on the rears? Stabilizing bars correctly fastened? Did you follow the instructions in the manual to properly adjust the tracks? I run the same tracks on my 2016 Kodiak 700 and there is no possible way the track could hit the fender. It sounds to me like something is not installed correctly.
