The best ramps spring option we have would be the part # 362SA7 which is 77 inches wide and has a lifting power of 150 lbs. It can be cut down to your specific custom needs and is designed to accommodate doors as small as 43 inches in width.

Warning: It is recommended that only individuals who have experience winding torsion springs install this product. If you have not worked with a torsion spring system before, we recommend contacting a local garage door company to install this system.
