Hmm this is pretty straightfoward.. if it its too light, add weights and make it heavier.

The spring is adjustable. There are 3-5 positions to mount the back half of the spring. Moving the spring toward the rear of the car increases spring tension, moving it forward decreases tension. Move the spring to the forward most perch position and it should work fine.

It's very difficult to move but it is possible. You need a vice grips and an extra set of hands as the tension on the spring was too much for me to handle alone. Grab the spring with a vice grips and pull the spring toward the rear of the vehicle and gently lift it out of the perch and then back into another perch position.

I never thought for a minute that being TOO lightweight could be a problem until now! 
Good luck and keep us posted!
