Today we're going to take a quick look at the Lippert Components Venture Lead Leg repair kit for 5th-wheel RV landing gear.Now if you've had your landing gear for a long time or it's just not really working the way it should and the gears aren't really lining up they used to. It's getting harder and harder to deploy that landing gear out and retract it back in, an easy way to extend the life of that landing gear is to replace the components inside it.It's going to be a pretty easy job. It might be a little bit messy since there is some grease in there to keep everything lubricated and working as it should. But really, all you'll need is some extra grease and, maybe a pair of pliers and a screwdriver.Pop the top off of your landing gear. Remove the components. Be sure to clean those off.
Look for any spots of damage and try to make sure that you remember which part goes where. And then replace all your components in the same order that you took the old ones out.Included in our kit, we're going to get one drive shaft, which is going to be this longer piece here. We'll also get our two bevel gears. We're going to have our, sort of, smaller but fatter one. This is going to be our 12-T bevel gear, and then our 16-T bevel gear.We'll get our two drive shaft bushings, a shim washer, an E-clip, this spiral pin.
You can see it's a little rolled up spiral there. And also our drive pin.So again, all these components are going to fit in a specific order. Your drive pin is going to fit inside our larger washer like that.And then the spiral pin is going to fit inside our smaller bevel.And again, you just want to make sure to note the order the order that you take things out and just replace them the same way.This is going to be a lot easier and quicker, more affordable way to replace your damaged components and get your landing gear back to working as it should, rather than having to replace your entire assembly.Again if you do need any grease to pack in there to make sure everything is lubricated, you can also find that here at etrailer.com, so definitely check that out if you need to pick any up.This product is also made in the USA, and that's going to do it for our look at the Lippert Components Venture Lead Leg repair kit for 5th-wheel RV landing gear.

etrailer is a great company the 2 ladies that helped me were fabulous VERY KNOWAGEABLE AND Friendly MELISSA and JOANNE.
Just the replacement kit I needed to replace the sheared shaft when I retracted the leg too far.
My wife warned me.
Delivery was fast.
$50 dollars for a rebuild kit vrs $325 dollars for a complete jack leg, you do the math :) My trailer repair man stated his company couldn't get the rebuild kit and the entire jack leg would cost me $500 dollars retail price !!!! Not only did E-trailer have the jack leg and the rebuild kit, they were way lower priced than dealing with my on sight service tech. So, I bought the rebuild kit and did it myself and it works like it should !!!!!!
Great service. Real helpful on placing order. Stacy was really polite & getting my order to me on time. Had my lead leg repair kit for landing gear repaired & back on road as promised.
The service was great. Everything fit perfectly without a hitch.
Thanks for the help.
Thank you for the excellent service , parts fit perfect!
Parts were a perfect fit. Repaired the landing leg for 50 bucks instead of replacing for 250 bucks
Fast Service Shipped same day I Ordered Very Knowledgeable on parts
Item was as described and worked perfec tly!
Fantastic service and capabilities. I contacted them reading a series of part numbers to repair my Lippert landing gear. Great research efforts locating every item I requested. My order arrived one day early. I replaced parts received meeting my departure time for a 1200 mile trip. I couldn't have expected more.
It is good quality. It was also easy to assemble.
David D - 02/28/2022Works great. Used to to separate the 2 landing legs on my 5th wheel trailer to allow for independent operation with 2 motors. This modification is done on the passenger side leg (the one without the motor). By adding these parts, you can now install the new motor (LG-142178) and gear box (LC276602) to operate each landing leg separately. -obviously you will need to install a second switch and the appropriate wiring. Great modification -should have been installed like this from the factory.
Mark - 04/13/2020Everything fit just right. Ordered on Labor Day and had it Friday. Thank you!
Just what I needed.... super simple fix!!!! Thank you on the fast shipping!!!
After shearing off the main pin of the landing gear on my Raptor 5th wheel toyhauler, I ordered the the Lippert landing gear repair kit from etrailer. They were extremely helpful, verified fitment, and shipped it immediately. It not only was easy to replace, but fit /worked perfectly.
Rex - 11/17/2018Easy to install and high quality
Awesome experience from the call to the 800 number through delivery of my parts. Parts were exactly what I expected and were delivered on time as promised. I would definitely recommend etrailer.com for all your RV and or camper needs.
Kit worked good except large gear shaft diameter too small! Drilled out to install as delivery was already extended due to back order and could not wait any longer for return/reorder?
Brooke M - 09/20/2021Works perfect on my nitrous toy hauler. Installation was quick and simple.
My first review that I compelled to write because the service and product were excellent. After viewing a YouTube video to determine why my Fifth Wheel landing gear would not extend or retract, I knew this repair kit was exactly what I needed. Ordered kit at 4 pm Thursday and received package in the mail Saturday. All parts were an exact match. Lesson learned - lube the bevel gears in top of the landing gear legs. Cap on top is easy to remove. Hats off to Chelsey who helped me place the order and provided exceptional follow-up.
I bought an older 5th wheel camper that needed some work. I was happy to find etrailer that had replacement parts. Delivery was fast and the parts are exact replacements for what I need. I appreciate the follow-up email as well. My leveling jacks are back doing their job. I'm probably going to order the tailgate I found for my truck next!
All the parts were exactly like the originals. Shipping was quick. Would be helpful to include an assembly diagram and instructions. I found one in the help articles, so it would just be a matter of including a printout of that in the package.
By the way, this was for an independent Venture landing gear leg - no tie-over to a follow leg (each leg on mine has its own motor). But the parts are exactly the same.
The parts got to me in time, which was crucial for our road trip, everything fit perfectly. The aluminum reduction gear box is awesome. Thanks etrailer!
Lippert landing gear rebuild kit is still working flawlessly. God bless.
Lee G - 05/22/2020While it was difficult to determine the problem with the non-functioning lift leg, a sheared pin allowed the worm gear to spin without lifting, but occasionally catching and causing some minor lift. This kit resolved the issue entirely. Took several hours to remove the old gear, because of the sheared pin not easily removable, but once that was done, reassembly with the new pieces was easy enough. Quality materials, nothing cheap about the parts here.
