No problem, enjoy the project!

Great video! I'm getting ready to do this on my trailer this weekend. Luckily my trailer has a tube-style rails that I think I can put the springs inside of the rail.

That would be great!

Cheaper and sweeter my way love it

Great points and very informative video!

The springs need to be on the outside of the trailer. I mounted them on my trailer . Worked way better!

Thank you

What we used is square with a round wait on the inside. Get the weight of the tailgate. Split the weight period on both sides. And a round pulley for the top and a quarter inch cable. They have new Springs.

Wiring should always be hidden and protected. Maybe run pc. Nice vid

I bent my eye bolt too put my spring in it and pulled it back too lock it on

I used this video to do my 10" trialer. The PVC was 2" dia. and I used 8" 11'" of PVC.. Used a 130# spring on a tailgate that weighted 65# when down on the ground on a bathroom scale. It now goes up or down 2 fingers. Works GREAT !

@@kennethgunderman9086 Thank you very much for posting these details! I’m not clear whether you did this on both sides or only one, since the spring has enough strength to lift the entire gate.

Probably not, but they didn't make one to fit this way for landscaping trailers.

Those springs look like theyre already screwed. Lost their memory! They were clearly working too hard with your previous set up!

Yeah, I ended up replacing them because they were too stretched out.
