Raising Pickups on my 'Wick

[Bigwig]

My D and G strings are lacking in volume, and the solution seems to be to raise the bottom side of the pickup to get it closer and boost sound.
I've never done this before, are these pickups sitting on springs? If i loosen the screws closest to the volume/tone/pickup knobs, will the bridge raise up on its own?
sorry if this question seems a tad simple, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks alot you groove monkeys.

Simple is as simple does. Yeah, this is easy.

First, make sure your strings are spaced the right distance from the fret board, and follow the same curvature as the neck. If you had the D and G strings very high, then that would account for the lack of volume, but that is unlikely in your case. Once you have your strings at the right height, then use a metal engineers ruler (small) to raise the pickup by loosening the relevant screw. The Fender Support page has a great guide to setting up their bass's.

They have some good info on adjustments in the manual:
