We have the enclosed trailer ramp spring part # 362SW61 that is 67 inches long which would work well for you and can be shortened to your desired length while retaining the 120 lb capacity. Your other option is to use # 362SA5 which has an 85 lb capacity and is 54 inches wide.

This will install above the ramp door opening and the steel cable will help lift the door.
