Looking For A Ramp Assist Spring For My Big Tex Trailer
Updated 09/12/2025 | Published 05/19/2025
Question:
Older Big Tex SA30 5x10. Need some sort of ramp assist spring that mounts to the horizontal pivot rod shaft. Diameter unknown. Prefer no bed rail mounted cable spring. At 70 yrs old, getting harder to lift the expanding metal ramp door. Thanks

Hey William,
We have a ramp spring that mounts to a 1-1/2" diameter round shaft. Parts # M376FR, and # M366FR, one for the left side one for the right side. This is the only kind we have that mounts to a pivot rod, but is going to provide additional support for you lifting that ramp. I recommend measuring your pivot shaft with a caliper to see if this is going to work for you.
Let me know if you are able to measure that pivot shaft to see if this is going to be a fit for you.
