Are you wanting to do a torsion style spring that fits above the door like most toy haulers? Do you know how wide the door is and about how heavy the door is? Typically an 8 foot wide ramp spring like the part # M354FR is what you'd want as this matches the width of standard toy hauler doors and has a 120 lb lifting capacity.
