EVO's is 13/16" , so you should be good if it was drilled correctly originally: http://evomfg.com/EVO%20JK%20Drag%20Link%20Flip%20Kit
Why are you switching?

I currently have a Evo Mfg Drag link Flip but want to switch to Synergy. Does anyone know if it will work. I know the Synergy requires drilling to 7/8 but comes with a sleeve. Not sure what size the Evo drag link was drilled too.
Thank you

The joint is wore out after 150k miles and Mel at Evo said I need to replace the entire drag link so I decided to go with Synergy as the ends are replaceable. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using WAYALIFE mobile app
Couple thoughts as I've had issues with these in the past:
Pull the knuckle and drill in a press or have it machined. If the hole isn't perfect, the sleeve will shift in the hole and cause a loose draglink. I ended up welding my bung into the knuckle to stop the problem. Welding does solve the problem, if it occurs :-P
The Synergy will flop as the joints get older/looser. Not a big deal when daily driving or crawling, but if you are romping it off-road, you can hear the bar bouncing. I noticed it pretty bad on my last trip to Sand Hollow.
Yes, the joints can be clocked to minimize the flop, but it was always there in some form or another.
Just my experience. Still a great bar for the money, the replaceable ends are inexpensive. I would have no issues running one today if I didn't have tons and a custom setup. :-P
I went with Teraflex. It was an easy install. I just drilled the knuckle with a taper drill and installed it. Over 50k miles on same joint 40k with 35” tires and the 39” bfg for over 10k. I know everyone on here hates teraflex. But the steering kit came with my Alpine Long Arm kit and I have never had a problem.

I originally installed the EVO flip.... but later upgraded to a Synergy Draglink. No Issues.
Why not just buy a crown RHD replacement. It's like $65 bucks. You'll get another 150k miles out of it. If you do go with synergy I'd try dropping it in before messing with the spacer. When I installed my EVO flip kit it required me to drill it to 7/8". I think the inside taper may be the same on both spacers.
Edit: $67
