Question:

I have a 2006 6x12 cargomate cargo trailer. The spring is broke in the middle . I had only one spring on it and is mounted on left side . It has two cables and they are still in good working condition. Can I just buy that torsion spring from y’all . I don’t need the whole unit just the spring. Are should replace the whole thing . This one has double cables and I just replace it with a single cable one ?

Unfortunately, we don't offer the torsion springs as an individual item. I'd recommend the # M384FR 6-foot spirng assembly which includes the shaft, drums, cable and all the needed hardware for installation.

Keep in mind, those torsion springs are wound up with an incredible amount of force so for the sake of safety you'll want a professional to handle the installation for you. I can remember helping a friend to install a similar spring on a garage door years ago. He was using a screwdriver to torque the springs, the screwdriver slipped and the force of the spring flung the screwdriver though a wall into his house. It would have been deadly had someone been standing in the way.
