Hello Richard, thanks for reaching out. The Gorilla-Lift Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist w/ Cable # GL1 only comes with one length of cable which is about 57" long. We do not offer any other length of cable for this. You could try reaching out to Gorilla Lift to see if they offer anything. Otherwise you might have to get creative and come up with a way to extend the cables.

I am a bit curious why you need longer cables? Is it just the way your trailer is configured and they don't reach? Just curious.
