I do have a solution for you but the Rack'Em Double Barrel # RA-27C is only for open utility trailers. For a toy hauler ramp door you will need # CB250D96SHD. This is similar to the spring system on a garage door. This spring has a 250 pound capacity so it will take up most of the weight of your ramp door.

Keep in mind that these types of springs need to be professionally installed such as by a garage door company. Working with high tension springs can be dangerous and this is best left to a pro. I have linked a video review of this spring for you.
