carguy,
Here is what I can tell you based on the info provided, your current preload is at 40.5% which is a bit on the high side as a good target to shoot for is 25%. That means you need to increase the preload to the max possible, then repeat measurements to see if we can get close to 25%. If we cannot get there, then you will need to put in longer preload spacers. I can walk you through this as this can be done with the forks on the bike (although I am not sure what fork access you have with the vetter on).
Good call on the use of the floor jack.
Here is a pic of your current situation. As soon as you can get the wife's info or you with with 50 lbs of stuff on your lap I can try to backfit a curve.
