Installation Instructions for Redline Left Hand Ramp Spring # RS16933LH
Question:
I have received the springs but did not receive any installation instructions. Can you provide the installation instructions that, according to comments, other customers have received. Thanks.

In addition to watching our video review I attached, to use this spring on your trailer you must have ramp hinge with a 1-1/2 inch diameter rod or pipe where the ramp meets the trailer. The spring slips over the rod with the tension of the spring against the ramp and trailer when the ramp is in the up position. The spring should not be welded to the ramp or trailer, the tension and the rod will hold the spring in place. Note that the Redline Ramp Spring # RS16933LH is a replacement spring and is only part of the ramp spring system on a trailer.
I pulled the ramp spring from our warehouse to see if we have any instructions included. Unfortunately, we don't. I also called our representative at Redline and they don't have the instructions either because they order in bulk.
The springs we carry are designed for heavyweight steel doors or ramps commonly found on heavy equipment trailers or car haulers. If your trailer is not set up to accept a hinge spring, a hinge would need to be fabricated and installed. The springs require incredible force to move so if you have a regular trailer these may not be the best option.
