Expert Reply:

We have a good solution but the Conventional Ramp Door Spring for 8' Wide Enclosed Trailer part # 362SA8HD does not have quite enough adjustment for you to be bale to make it work. It will only get down to 94-3/8".

Instead the Conventional Ramp Door Spring for 8' Wide Enclosed Trailer part # CB250D96SHD is the way to go. This model can be adjusted all the way down to 80" which will work out really well with your setup.
