The best option I have for you to upgrade from a single motor to a dual motor landing gear set is to use the Reese Electric 5th Wheel Landing Gear Set part # RP500708 as it comes with everything you need. Unfortunately, in order to add a second motor to an existing landing gear set you'll need to replace the follow leg with a lead leg, delete the cross shaft then add the motor/gear box/and switch. In order to offer this option I will need to know the exact length of your landing gear leg, the weld stop spacing of the landing gear leg, and the RPM rating of the landing gear motor.
