Thinking about it, it shouldn't wind or unwind unless the spring is loose. Having a 400lb spring compressed against it is more than enough to keep the threads tight
That was my thinking too. I've certainy seen no change in the length of the exposed thread in 2 1/2 years.

My 400lbs springs seem just about right and the 7" gives me that little bit more travel when I'm loaded down with a heavy suitcase on the boot rack. I have Spax adjustables on the rear but I have never had them on anything other than the softest setting. And I found some suspension rubbers on Ebay. I seem to remember they were intended for aTR3a.
