Question:

I have a customer that is looking to replace his ramp springs. They are 30 3/4 coil to coil with the door/ramp up and 49 coil to coil with the door/ramp down. I am experiencing a very difficult time with Warrior Lifestyles in getting any answers. This is a 2009 Weekend Warrior Supercress SXL1800A Vin# 5HRFF18209C0***** Any advise that you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

An Enclosed Trailer Ramp Spring, like part # 362SA4, can be cut down to fit 23-3/4" to 43-3/8" doors. Ramp Spring # 362SA5 can fit 31-5/8" to 55-1/2" inch doors. They are customizable to fit the space available in your trailer as well as the door size so for your door I recommend # 362SA5.

These springs are unique in that they are not the high torsion springs that require professional assistance for installation. They are self adjusting.
