It is best to use the Conventional Ramp Door Spring for 6' Wide Enclosed Trailer # M364FR. This will fit a rear door 37-1/2" to 67-5/8" wide. The EZ Gate Tailgate Lift Assist # 3375201000 is designed for a utility trailer with a rail to mount the assist 12" to 18" above the decking. Since you will not have this type of rail on your 6'x12' enclosed trailer you will not be able to mount it with your rear door.

We do not sell only the spring. If you're needing a new spring, you'd need the entire assembly #362SA5 if the 85lb door rating matches the weight of the door. If you have a different door weight, let me know and I can see if we have something…

A ramp door spring rated for 4k in/lbs of torque is going to offer more assistance than a ramp door spring rated for 2k in/lbs of torque. However, choosing the highest rated door spring available is not in your best interest. If the spring was rated…
