Expert Reply:
The best size of trailer ramp spring for your trailer is going to be the 81-inch dual torsion spring # ERS120D81. This dimension is the end-to-end length as you'll see in the video.
This unit consists of two torsion springs on one shaft and it has a capacity of 120-lbs. This spring can be bolted or welded to the trailer header and it comes complete with dual cables and hardware.
Please note that this spring is intended to be installed by someone who has experience with torsions springs. If not we recommend having a garage door installer handle it for you.
