• Ramp Spring Recommendation for 80 lb Ramp that is 63 inches Wide
  Hey Justin, thanks for all of the info you listed on the ramp door you have. Based on that you'd want the ramp spring part # 362SA6 which can fit ramps up to 69 inches in width and has a 120 lb weight capacity. This could be wound to provide the exact amount of lift support you'd need and would work great since yours weighs 80 lbs.

• Measuring Ramp Door Weight For Replacement Ramp Door Spring
  In order to properly weigh your door to figure out the correct spring you only need to find the weight when the ramp door is down. Assuming you weighed your door without spring assist, you can use the 74 lb measurement. Typically, you use a scale and place a block of wood or something similar on the scale and rest your ramp on the block to get this measurement. You do not need to know or estimate the total weight of the door to choose a replacement spring. Based on the weight and the door...

• Does Lifting Force Consistency of Conventional Ramp Door Spring # 362SA6
  When wound properly the 120 lb lifting force of the Conventional Ramp Door Spring # 362SA6 is going to be basically throughout the entire range of the ramp being lifted as you'll feel it. That said, the spring will be helping the most when the ramp is on the ground and as it gets closer to the being closed gravity will affect it less and less which works out perfectly as the pulling force of the spring will begin to diminish at the same time. This is why it's so important to have a professional...

  For the rear opening I recommend using enclosed trailer ramp spring # ERS120D81. It has a capacity of 120 pounds. And for the rear I recommend # 362SA6 which has a 120 pound capacity.
