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.

Ratings & Reviews
Product is great rebuild the landing leg in leg in less then a hour.
Easy to install and works great
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.
Great customer service. My 1999 trailer is located in Mexico, it was difficult trying to figure out the correct parts and they were able to figure it out with a few photos. The parts were exactly what I needed and have been working as expected since. Thanks etrailer!
The parts are working great and the video help get the job done without any real complications. I did both the lead and following legs.
$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 !!!!!!
Lippert landing gear rebuild kit is still working flawlessly. God bless.

Gears are still working great. God bless.
Amber got me exactly what was needed. She sent follow-up e-mail with video's to watch (if needed).
Installed today. Back to new...
Install very easy. Was very impressed with replacement but unfortunately it didn’t last Used 2 times and gears stripped out again and pin sheered off inside gear .
5th wheel camper was sitting level and when hooked up to truck to raise camper the pin popped and lead leg stopped retrieving. Motor still ok but rebuild gears are no good
Maybe cheap metal gear gogs snd pin who knows.
Back to finding a good rebuild kit
This kit includes everything needed to repair the Landing jack. The Pin is generally what breaks, but sometimes, it is better to replace all parts.
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.

After a year of use, my landing gear is working great. Im so glad I purchaseinstalled the repair kit myself, as it was easy, and I saved hundreds in shop labor costs.
Works 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.

Still working great. No issues
etrailer is a great company the 2 ladies that helped me were fabulous VERY KNOWAGEABLE AND Friendly MELISSA and JOANNE.
Exactly what was needed. In my case the old gear box would not come off so needed up needing this kit to replace the shaft., Easy replacement and in stock. Quick shipping.
Fit well and included everything needed to do full repair.
Exactly the front landing parts, gear setI needed.
Kelly was amazing! She was extremely helpful, super friendly and very willing to make sure I was ordering the correct item! She even made a follow-up call to confirm the item was correct and I was happy with product! Thanks Kelly!
Perfect fit. With the aid of YouTube a pretty easy fix. Save a lot of money with the leading kit and the follow kit. Thank etrailer
You can see in the picture what happened. The driver pin sheered off; causing failure.
When my left front landing leg on my self leveling 30' 5th wheel started making noise and slipping, I figured right off that whatever gears were in the leg were stripping. I watched a couple of YouTube videos that just showed changing out the leg. I took the leg off, pulled the top cap off and saw very quickly what was wrong. I went to etrailer.com to look at replacing the leg. I saw the repair kit for a small fraction of the cost of a new leg and ordered it. Easy and quick fix. Just replace the old parts with the new ones in the kit, add a healthy glob of wheel bearing grease to the new gears and reinstall the leg. No special tools required. I'm 75 years old and had no problems.

One year later. Works like a charm. I checked the other leg and one gear was missing one tooth so I replaced it too. Save a bunch by doing it yourself.
Installed on our 2012 Dutchmen Voltage exact replacement. Awesome fit. Used for rear and stabilizer landing legs. Completely disassembled, cleaned thoroughly entire thread. Existing gears showed normal wear but replaced any way. With new bushing provided back to like new.
The front lead and follow legs were replaced but plan to rebuild old with new gears and bushings will keep just in case of one of those days happens. Highly recommend doing this before a failure on the road.

The rebuilds are working as well as the ones I replaced at same time with new. Planned preventive maintenance beats a failure on the road. Keep them greased and replace if show significant wear.

Excellent quality and exactly what I needed.
Wonderful website. Easy to navigate, easy to order. Fast shipping.
All the specs, videos, pictures, and FAQ really are a big resource for anyone doing DIY work.
The 16 tooth gear inner diameter is 1/2”. It does not fit onto the 5/8” diameter vertical shaft on my Lippert landing gear.

Can I get the part number of your landing gear?
I ordered this part for my 2011 Keystone Montana High Country 313RE front lead leg landing jack. All of the parts were an exact fit except the 16 tooth bevel gear. The issue was that the inside diameter of the hole was too small to fit on the worm gear shaft of my landing jack. The shaft is approximately a 1/2 inch shaft and the hole of the gear is about 3/8s of an inch. After doing some research there appears to be a lot of people who run into the same issue when ordering this repair kit. A kit with the correct siz b e gear doesn't seem to exist. Luckily for me it was the 12 tooth gear that was the issue and I just left my old 16 tooth gear in place, otherwise my only alternative would be to buy a whole new landing leg which is way more costly then the gear kit. Can we get the correct size 16 tooth gear and create a kit with it?
