 You may find that the springs aren't long enough to hold up the bed at the needed height. ​ You can re-compress them by inserting a spacer above each one, the same length as the first spacer. ​ If the spring is wide enough to slip over your spacer, find a washer wide enough to hold the spring down and incorporate that at the bottom of your spacer stack. You may find that the springs aren't long enough to hold up the bed at the needed height. ​ You can re-compress them by inserting a spacer above each one, the same length as the first spacer. ​ If the spring is wide enough to slip over your spacer, find a washer wide enough to hold the spring down and incorporate that at the bottom of your spacer stack.

 +Here, three M3 nuts have been used to raise the standoff by about 7mm.  The old button-head screw coming up from under the platform has been replaced with an M3x14mm screw (not visible here). ​ The two M3x30mm flat head screws at the front of the bed have been replaced by M3x40mm screws. ​ On each of those screws is (from top to bottom) a stack of three M3 nuts, an M3 fender washer, and one more nut.  The spring fits over the nut, so the last nut doesn'​t count as part of the spacer.
