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.
