How much threaded collar remains above the adjustable spring perch?   If 
you have room to continue, keep turning.   

A challenge is that the threaded collar isn't fixed to the shock body, so 
once the spring is in compression, it's common for both the collar and the 
perch to turn together.   I had to use a strap wrench to hold the collar while 
turning the locking ring (to lower it, not raise it).

Don't forget to use some sort of lubricant to prevent the perch from 
galling the threaded shock collar.
