Default Main struts

I have been out flying my Joker recently and have found that when retracting my landing gear sometimes the left main does not fully retract. Upon inspection I have discovered the left main strut does not extend all the way out, the spring has become a little weak after 80+ flights. Has anyone else come across this issue and if so what was your solution? Oh yeah, it is the JP Hobby gear that comes with the kit and I have not had any harsh landings.
I came across this: https://www.turbines-rc.com/en/strut...mm-length.html but it says hard spring so I am not sure if this is the stock spring or a beefier spring. I don't need a beefier spring. the current dampening rate has been great.
