Lighter tracking force is only likely to make sibilance problems worse. You are much better tracking near the upper end of the suggested range than too low. Too light a tracking force can cause mistracking which will permanently ruin your records. The stylus loses the ability to stay in constant contact with the groove walls and bounces around, banging into them and taking little pieces out of them.
A few tenths of a gram extra weight aren't going to make a difference from a downforce/squishing down on the record standpoint, and will make sure the stylus maintains smooth contact with the groove walls.
If you're sure your alignment is correct, I'd try tracking a little heavier than 1.8g. Don't go heavier than the recommended range, but just inch it up a little.
Also, is this happening on all records? If it's only happening on used records, but not new ones, it could be that the previous owner damaged the records through mistracking or a worn needle.
