I found the problem. The shock that came with the frame is a 185x50. Doesn't fix my shock with the lack of compression dampening but I at least know why it was touching the frame. Now there is a possibility that a 200x57 shock will fit.
On that I have had a thought (dangerous I know). What about running the a newer 210x55. Yes it would raise the bottom bracket by 10mm but also increase the travel from 140 to 154mm. I could run a offset bushing (or two) to counteract the BB height increase. By raising the BB slightly I think it...
I have read that a 200x57 will fit. I am not that confident that it will because when I compress it without air, the rear triangle just touches the seat tube. Research also tells me that some 200x57 shocks can be reduced in travel.
