I am wanting to get rid of the cables and install pivot pin springs on my enclosed trail toy hauler. Place used to make a kit 10 years ago and they stopped. Cant find anyone that makes a kit. So guess ill just have to design it all. Have you or any other found a kit?

This has come up before, but the kits weren't so good anyway. There's liability in such things. Cables fail too along with the springs. I saw a design once that incorporated long leaf springs under the bed. As the gate came down the springs took most of the load out. It required just a flip to go back to vertical, but it wasn't offered as a kit. Another design had pressure cylinders like shock absorbers to do the same function as springs offered as add-on parts. Not sure as to the status now on those. It's a good question and one I'd like to experiment with. I'd say you're on your own. I'd think that a fluid powered system would be good, battery powered. That's the place to start designing, as for the front of a skip loader. That's probably too costly, however. I've seen those smaller cylinders for sale before. Just an idea.

Sure, it's horsetraileraccessorystore dot com . You should let them know you came here first as they need to know. I get nothing from them, but there are a lot of inquires for the source. Their products are outstanding. Please be careful nevertheless when working with springs.
