Jared, the 150" long cables that come with the Conventional Ramp Door Spring for 8' Wide Enclosed Trailer # M354FR are unfortunately the only size offered with that part.

What you could do instead, is buy the Replacement Cables for Conventional Ramp Door Spring # M339FR which is 174" and will work with the Ramp Door Spring # M354FR.

Hey Jared, did the longer 174" replacement cables work well with your ramp door spring setup? Knowing how they fit could help others looking for a similar upgrade.

Answer 1

The 120-LB #M354FR is going to likely be a better option with the door weight between 125-130lbs. While the 150-LB #362SA8207 will work the higher weight will make the door want to raise up off the ground which can be troublesome when trying to load…

You won't need to obtain the weight of the entire door, just the un-hinged side. You'll want to find the amount of weight you'll need to overcome to easily lift the door. You could use an old bathroom scale, place some blocking on it, and…

Answer 7

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…

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

Answer 10

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

Answer 11

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…
