Expert Reply:

The Stromberg Carlson # LG-2 electric landing gear kit is typically a universal fit if the leg length and the weld stops on the legs match what you have existing.

The legs on the # LG-2 are 33-1/2 inches long and the inside to inside weld stop measurement is 15-1/2 inches and the outside to outside is 17-1/2 inches as shown in the provided photo, which is what's typically found. The 5500 lb weight capacity is typically sufficient for most fifth wheels, considering the landing gear won't have to lift the entire weight of the 5th wheel, just the pin weight.

If your inside to to inside weld stop (not bracket spacing) is different than the 15-1/2 inches, it's not that big of a deal to have the existing brackets on your frame members removed and the included brackets welded in place so they're compatible.
