The M3 Enclosed Trailer Ramp Spring # ERS120D81 is 81-inches wide as measured tip to tip; this is noted in the linked video at the :45-second mark.

The installation instructions for this product are recommended for individuals who have experience winding torsion springs. If you have not worked with a torsion spring system before, we recommend contacting a local garage door company to install this system.
