Installation Of A Gorilla-Lift Tailgate Assist On A Bi-Fold Tailgate

Question

Question:

Jameson C A while back you answered an inquiry as to a Gorilla Lift install on a bifold trailer ramp. I am looking to do the same install on a BiFold aluminum HD ramp and wondered if I could contact the customer that submitted the photo to see what he used for hardware as well as any suggestions to make the install better.
