• What Replacement Spring do I Need to Replace My Orange Coded Spring for Enclosed Trailer Door?
  Hello Tim, I am happy to get you into the right spring, but we need to know the weight of the door. You mentioned that the one you are replacing is "orange coded" but the issue is that there is not a real standard and companies use different colors for different weights. I would hate to get you set up with one that is too strong or too weak. Getting the weight is not as hard as you think. All you need to do is open the door and lay it down on a bathroom scale. Yes, it is that easy. Once...

• How to Weigh a Cargo Ramp Door for a Replacement Spring

• Recommended Conventional Ramp Door Spring with Longer Cable
  Jared, the 150" long cables that come with the Conventional Ramp Door Spring for 8' Wide Enclosed Trailer # M354FR are unfortunately the only size offered with that part. What you could do instead, is buy the Replacement Cables for Conventional Ramp Door Spring # M339FR which is 174" and will work with the Ramp Door Spring # M354FR.

• Choosing the Correct Replacement Ramp Door Spring for a 2001 Horse Trailer
  Hey Amy, thanks for reaching out! The Conventional Ramp Door Spring for 8' Wide Enclosed Trailer # M354FR could work out as a replacement spring for your 2001 horse trailer, but we'll need to check the specs with your trailer to see if this fits. This spring is designed for a 60" to 96" wide trailer door and has a 120 lb spring capacity so you'll want your door to weigh a little over that so the door doesn't shut on it's own. If your door has a different width or weight please let me...

• Ramp Spring For Rear Door of 2015 Forest River Vengeance 5th Wheel Toy Hauler
  We do offer a ramp spring that would work for you. According to my research, your Forest River Vengeance Toy hauler is about 8-1/2 feet wide, which means that you'd need an 8 foot spring.

We offer a 250 lb spring as part # CB250D96SHD, a 230 lb spring as part #362SA8HD, a 150 lb spring as part # 362SW81 or a 120 lb spring as part # M354FR. Ideally, you'd want to choose a spring with a capacity a bit less than the actual...

• Enclosed Trailer Ramp Door Spring Assembly Needed For a 125LB Ramp Door
  The 120-LB # M354FR is going to likely be a better option with the door weight between 125-130lbs. While the 150-LB # 362SA8207 will work the higher weight will make the door want to raise up off the ground which can be troublesome when trying to load something and the door starts to close itself. Both these kits can be narrowed down to the 88" width you are needing. Be sure to check out our etrailer Enclosed Trailer Transition Plate # e32JR as well. If you install this it will make the...

• Recommended Ramp Door Spring For 8 Wide Race Trailer With 200lb Door
  I would be happy to help! Since the ramp door on your 8' wide race trailer weighs in roughly 200lbs I recommend the # 362SA8HD which works with ramp doors up to 230lbs so it will offer plenty of assistance to raise your door. Lastly we strongly recommend having the spring installed by a qualified professional as these springs are under a lot of tension and can be very dangerous to those not familiar to how they get installed. I included a video of the # 362SA8HD for you to take a look at.
