Wait, what?

Pick from these options:

1. You threaded to lower spring perch (the green one in the pic, no one cares about the lower red collar) all the way down until it hit the sleeve (or the red collar just above the sleeve), AND that position just happens to also be the minimum preload? If that is the case, use a shorter spring plus a helper.

2. Or does yours look like the pic you posted. AKA you threaded the spring perch down to the minimum preload, SO you can't thread it any lower (but there is in fact room to physically thread it lower...as there is in the pic)? If that is the case, try just a helper (if not a longer primary spring).
