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.
