Default Why not EVO plush springs?

I am considering switching to EVO plush ride springs. I've only ever read good things, that they ride real nice doing a great job of soaking up road imperfections. Of course good off-road as well. Of course tied with the king shocks and even the guys running Rancho 9k's say good things.

Is there anyone out there who's had the plush springs and switched them out because they didn't like them? Why?

I've read they sag under heavy loads. If you're planning on running steel armor, winch, spare - you should look at something with a more firm ride.

I run the 3" EVO coils with full armor, steel bumpers and rock rails, winch and 35" spare. They do not sag at all, I have measured the actual amount of lift and I still have slightly over 3" with all that. The ride is great and they overall extended length is amazing, I run Fox 4"-6" shocks witch are VERY long shocks.

I am running the EVO 3 inch plush rides with LoD bumpers front and rear which is carrying Nitto Trail Grapplers on ATX Slabs and do not have any sag. Oh and I got my coils second hand and they had about 35K miles on them and I have put another 30K on them since.

Man if you weren't on the other side of Texas I would take you for a ride so you can see first hand.

I know ride is 100% subjective but i keep reading the EVO's are the softest coil. I disagree comparing to my Currant RK's and other coils (setups) ive driven in. Unless loaded down with weight (which im not) i found the EVO coils to be on the firmer side. Again .. Ride is subjective so take this with a grain of salt.
