Recommended Tailgate Lift Assist for a Bix Tex 70TV Trailer

Question:

Hi, what would be the trailer ramp assist that I would need for the Big Tex 70TV 7x16? The sides are a bit taller than most... 29inch 3/8 height I believe.

The best trailer tailgate/ramp assist we have for your Bix Tex 70TV Trailer is the Gorilla-Lift Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist part # GL1. That said, this lift assist is only designed for a max side rail height of 24" which is also the max of all other trailer tailgate/ramp assists so in order to use one you can either mount a false rail down a few inches using a piece of angle iron or you can just simply add a few chain links onto the end of the cable so your tailgate can reach the ground.

The Gorilla-Lift will attach to the round-tube rails so you won't have any issues with this either.
