That’s what I’ve been kinda thinking might be the issue. I’ll get the parts numbers and order another set and see how that goes!

From what it looks like to me, the springs are too compressed.Comment

Thanks y’all! I’m

They are indeed. Back those nuts off (evenly of course) and see if you get clutch movement. You can back 'em off quite loose because the first thing to verify is your parts will move the clutch far enough to release it. Then you can work the spring issue. You can remove a spring and measure it uncompressed. Post the height and someone (probably Dragstews) with loose springs can compare (my clutches are assembled or I'd measure one).
Note to others with later Evo five speeds: Those larger bearings will fit your ball and ramp if you spotface the bearing area a few thou wider than the upgrade bearing. I did that to use a Baker bearing with a lower effort ball and ramp. It would take a machinist very little time to clamp the part on parallels in the mill vise and make the cut. The larger wafer bearing provides the actual running surfaces. Link with picks and spotface dimensions is my vtwinforum post (my nick there is casement). Installed in 2014 and still happily working in my FXR:

Barnett Tool & Engineering offers the clutch springs in three diff. spring rates ....
Takes a bit of playing with the installed height to find the sweet spot...
What you are after is just enough pressure to keep the clutch from slipping under full throttle in high gear..Take my 45 and outrun em all ..Comment

The free length of the springs is not really the variable here.
Unless the OP's are sagged.
The installed height is just under an inch, per the manual.
If using aftermarket parts you also have to look at the instructions they hopefully come with.
I have seen people try to stuff too many clutch plates into a basket...Comment

I always figured it was all the clutch plates go in the basket. It’s a BDL 1.5” open belt if you happen to know how many Sky. If not I can give them a call.Comment
