Replacement Landing Gear Legs Needed for a 2004 Arctic Fox 29.5E 5th Wheel Trailer

Question:

I'm ready to order the new landing gear for my 5th wheel. My weld stop measurements are 19.5 and 21.5 which matches the specs for the LG-4. One question though. This existing brackets that hold the legs do not face (direction of opening/bolt) forward like the pictures show. They both face towards the center of the trailer. Note the attached pics of both legs taken from the front. My current original legs only have weld stops on one of the four sides, and that stop rests against the back of the bracket rather than the side (as shown in the pictures). This has worked on my 2004 5th wheel until now so I assume it will work with these new legs too, but I wanted to run it by an expert before I order.

I can give you some information to help you determine if the Lead # LC179013 and Follow # LC179014 legs will fit your 2004 Arctic Fox 29.5E 5th wheel, but we don't really have a database to pull from when it comes to OEM part numbers on trailers.

Both legs have an overall height of 32" with an outer tube width of 2-1/2" and an inner tube width of 2-1/4". The total travel distance is 21" with a 16" drop leg travel.

To determine if these will fit directly to the brackets that you currently have on your 5th wheel you need to measure where your weld stops are. If you check out the attached picture you can see that the weld stop locations for both legs measure 15-1/2" on the inside and 17-1/2" on the outside. If those match up with your current landing gear then these will fit directly to your trailer and new weld stop locations will not need to be installed.

I have linked a review video for the lead leg for you to reference.

The weld stops on the Stromberg Carlson Electric Landing Gear Set # LG-4 will work with your Arctic Fox. I spoke with my contact at Lippert who said that landing gear with weld stops on the side like this set has will be compatible with your trailer.
