The distance you mentioned between your landing gear weld stops is not a standard distance so while we can help you get a new set that will fit, you will have to have the brackets on the trailer frame moved to accommodate the new landing gear.

The # LG-3 that you referenced would be a great solution as it has a motor which will make raising and lowering the jacks much easier than using a manual crank. This comes with a manual crank too though in case of a situation where you lose power to the jack.
