Well, I finally found a way to fix my EVO spring bow.
After spending over $5k for a Stage 4 Enforcer Plus with King shocks, I engaged in numerous phone calls with EVO resulting in them telling me to get a full alignment to fix the issue (as expected, it was perfect; waste of more $$$), maybe...
Still looks inward bowed in that pic just like in this pic.
If RK is not seeing this on their lifts then it has to be the end coil wind on the EVO springs causing this. (These have the Daystar pads that came with the EVO kit)
Can RK confirm this is not an issue with their springs? If so I will...
Ageed. The ones in this thread below appear to be. Doesn't seem to matter which isolator is used...

Any update here. Seems the correction pad would make it worse and actually the pads that come with the EVO kit are RK/Daystar correction pads.
Correction pads are for outward bowing. EVO suggested one member to go back to the stock isolators. Seems it helped.
Please update your findings if you...
I have looked at a thousand pictures for ideas so thought it fair to share my results.

A bit off topic but an wondering how these Sunriders perform on the freeway...
Do you have to put them down at a certain speed? Looks like they could have a parachute effect.
Also interested in the combo...
Just to keep the data updated with the conversation I have reposted what you were referring to in the below image. The RPMs are as stated and for me, perfect.
I obviously misinterpreted your statement “With 37s and 5.13 it's about the same as just driving in 7th” to mean 5.13s would be running...
I am going to have to kindly disagree Oscar.
When you are spending a large chunk of money you should have accurate data to qualify your decision.
Below is the raw data and as you can see, there is a ~111 rpm difference in 4.88s and 5.13s at 70 mph. This is hardly noticeable and does not support...
Sorry, been offline for a bit. My personal decision is simply based on data and actual real life results which the above video subject video emulates perfectly. To be clear, if I lived in a low elevation state I would likely opt for 4.88s, however, 95% of my driving is at ~5000 feet where we are...
Great video and the results are exactly what has been seen on two JLUs done here in the last 6 months. Perfect choice.
Mine is sitting on 5.13s and the stock 33s right now. Getting the 37s and lift installed in the next two weeks.
For now, it's pretty quick but surprisingly very manageable...
