Not to worry--when the car is off the ground the spring is at the "full extension" that the strut will allow. The strut cartridge is holding the spring assembly together with that big nut on top, so that when the car is off the ground, the spring will extend to the full length of the strut insert will allow. Have no fear, you'll be fine.
