I would just pull it out and make sure it didnt shift on you. How did you attach the spring? Glue or the bolt method? I have seen the bolt method cause a issue if it sticks out to far.

Removing/Repair F-150 Dash Cupholder
The cup holder spring on my 2003 F-150 Supercrew fell off 4-years ago, finally decided to fix it today so the darn cup holder would go in & out like it was supposed to without having to bring a coat hanger with me.
I was afraid to just pry/yank the cup holder out, so I initially removed the vent panel trim which wasn't required. I know I'm not the only mentally challenged shade tree type on here so, pictures are worth a thousand words.
Unfortunately some of the pictures that were posted years ago are no longer available on the site, so I included those for those folk's that are reluctant to tackle this easy project.
Hope this benefits someone
