Default Drunk jiffy stand

Hey all I went riding and my buddy was following me. He said the jiffy stand hangs way low. Any advice in how to fix that?

Clean and grease the pivot, to check it isn't hang up on some dirt, then replace the spring if necessary.

Mine was doing this on my 2001...new bushes, pin and spring saw it straight, now hugs the rubber stop nice and tight.
