For anyone in need, here is the Pullman MFG Spring Balances web page for sourcing replacements for your lift gate needs.
sub57, when I look at the source pics, the Part# 105-A 9 to 11 lb. (Type A Overhead style) shows as having a 90 degree bend mounting tab on the cable connector end. Your pic shows both tabs flat to the reel face. Did you simple straighten that tab to use for your installation???
