The way I see it, you did what works best for your trailer. If someone doesn't approve of your work, then he or she can buy you a new trailer with built-in lift gate. Do not stress on winter income, things happen that are beyond your control. You might have a great mowing season, who knows. On the zero turn, take it month by month and see what happens, maybe in 2024. No one helps you with the bills or truck repairs so do what is best for you. ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
ANYTHING to help you during SUMMER (especially) is a MUST in our business. BTW... we ALL have to learn. Good Video... thanks for sharing. Stay safe and God Bless from Texas
Turned out great. Maybe you can find a piece of rubber or plastic tube to go over the spring to help keep the spring from rubbing or hanging up on the trailer rail when you lower the gate.
If you put it in a metal tibe with some wire connecting the ends of the spring to the lift gate the springs wont be exposed and it would be easyer to adjust
Nicely done. I have the same exact spring setup on my chevy, however I found that 2 springs were too much assist, I didn’t like having to push it down like that, so I removed one spring and with one, it does a great job. Might try that if you’re having trouble w it either pulling up on its own or if ya get tired of pushing it down. The extra spring I have now that I didn’t use for the chevy I’m actually going to install on my little 8x5 trailer.
Gotcha, I'm doing it on a 4ft wall trailer. They quoted $650 to install springs under the door since it needed an extra rod or whatever. Got on here and found your video and bought everything the same day today for $44 at Home Depot! @@cleancutslawncare
Menards. But Lowe’s, Home Depot etc all have them. These were like $10 each. I think they were the 30s. Pressure amount. They come in different numbers. 10 20 30 40 50 etc.

Thank you man. That’s why I put them on. ANYTHING to help.

I was thinking rubber would be best for the flex. I was looking online a little bit ago. It’s grabbing on the corners just a bit. I’m sure you seen.
Just add carabiner until you get the right distant.
Hi there. Great job. 👍🏾.. Springs are hitting the trailer.. So try to put A PVC pipe around it.. Or move it now. The bottom. And raise the top. 💪🏾🚜
PVC was added the following day

It is a lot of assist. I adjusted it, but if it pulls it up I’ll have to take one off like you did.
Nice! I'm about to do the same to my trailer. How has it been holding up?
Perfect. It’s still good til this day. Never a problem. Probably buying a bigger trailer this year so I gotta do it to that one.

Very nice 💪
Where did you get the springs

Good ideal 👍🏻
Thank you
Did you ever think about using a tape measure to let the viewers know the starting point
I would assume it would be different for each trailer.
That should work out good

That’s a solid comment. Thank you very much.
Kick the springs below the latch
