1. Grow muscle.

2. Are you twisting the rings the right way?

if they are coilovers like you say, the spring shouldn't be interfering with raising your ride. the two locking perches just need to be loosened and threaded higher up the mounting hardware. spray some wd-40 on those things if they're stuck. dirt from daily driving can get stuck in the threads and make it a pain sometimes...
