fender strat help

[mcrguitarplaya0]

i recently bought .10 gauge strings and i put them on the guitar and tuned it, but it wont stay in tune. The tremelo bridge is all the way up and i dont know how to set it the correct way so the bridge will be the correct height from the guitar and the strings will stay in tune. what do i need to do to fix this?

first of all when u put on fresh strings you have to play and tune with them for a little bit for them to stop stretching and stay in tune, also did u stretch the strings while u put them on?

Add a spring onto the tremolo.

Just block it. Do you use your whammy bar any? If not, I suggest blocking, keeps it in tune and you almost never have to worry.
