Rear Ramp Extension Springs

I replaced the corrugated aluminum on my ramp door with 3/8" plywood and smooth fiberglass laminate. It looks great but the door is now a little too heavy for the springs. I need to find a supplier for these Old style garage door springs. Garage door spring companies don't seem to have anything this large available. They are 39" long eye to eye and 2-1/2" dia with .290 wire. I would like to find springs the same length but with a little thicker wire.

Anyone found replacement springs for their ramp?
