It sounds like there could be something bent either on the ramp itself, the body of the trailer or the spring or hinge pin. You could replace the hinge type springs with an enclosed ramp spring system such as # ERS120D81 at 81 inches wide and 120 pound capacity but if something is bent then it will still have the same issues. If you have at least 80 inches, you may want to consider replacing with # CB250D96SHD which is rated for 250 lbs.
The installation instructions for these products are recommended for individuals who have experience winding torsion springs. If you have not worked with a torsion spring system before, we recommend contacting a local garage door company to install this system.
