Expert Reply:
To incraese the tension on your Gorilla-Lift Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist w/ Cable part # GL1 the connection points on the ramp should be mover higher on the ramp. Move it up and check for assist and just set it to your preference. Once you have found the sweet spot permanently attach the cables and you are set.
I've included the video I did on this system to show the exact process.
