Replacement Landing Gear for Atwood Landing Gear in 1998 Jayco Designer 2930 RKS

Question:

Hello, I currently have a 1998 Jayco Designer 2930 that has Atwood landing gear. I need to replace the landing gear and in a separate question on the forum, I was told that the Reese RP500708 should bolt up toinch . I have included a Pic showing my current Atwood landing gear and the bracket used to mount to the trailer frame. Can you please confirm for me that the Reese RP500708 will Bolt-On with my current frame/bracket. Will use of the Reese require welding? Are there other makes\models of landing gear that will fit? Thanks for your help.

13 inches between the mounting brackets on RV landing gear is a much older dimension that was used in the 90's but not anymore as the current dimension is 15 inches there. So what that means is that for any landing gear replacement for your fifth wheel like the # RP500708 you would need to move the brackets. I wish there was a different way but at this point there are no non-welding options.
