Brownell's recommends trimming the spring that comes with Remington 870 magazine extension tubes if the spring does not allow the last shell to be loaded into the magazine (i.e. if a +3 tube only allows 2 extra rounds).

What they don't say is which end of the spring to trim--the end against the follower or the end inside the magazine tube. Any thoughts on if one end is better than the other to trim?
