  • Will a Leaf Spring Work on a 2 Horse Trailer With a Slant Ramp
  • You were right on the money thinking that the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e54SR should work with your slant ramp on your 1989 Aluminum Classic Trailer. Through some research, I was able to find out that Redline supplies many of the ramp springs to horse trailer manufacturers. The key point to make sure these are the correct ones is to measure the ones you currently have - I realize they are broken, but, do the best you can. You need to measure from center of one eye to the center of the...

  • How to Choose Proper Trailer Ramp Door Spring Rating
  • You won't need to obtain the weight of the entire door, just the un-hinged side. You'll want to find the amount of weight you'll need to overcome to easily lift the door. You could use an old bathroom scale, place some blocking on it, and rest the open side of the ramp on it. The weight you get, minus the weight of the blocking would be the amount of weight that the spring needs to overcome. For instance, the # 362SA8207 ramp spring you'd looked at has a 150 lb rating. If the spring rating...

  • We have springs for your 2006 RPM Toy Hauler's door. I've linked to a list of them below.

I assume you want a combo bar like # E-9 or a receiver like # UF35-946401. For safety...
