Question:
I have a landscape trailer that is 7x 14 and the sides and ramp are even at 6 tall is there anything that would work for a ramp lift assist?

Not for sides that tall Pj. All of our ramp assists like the Rack'Em Double Barrel Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist w/ Chain item # RA-27C require the sides to be significantly lower. This one only works with side rail heights of 10" to 15" from the bottom of the trailer bed.
What kind of trailer do you have?
