I looked through our current inventory and was unable to find a landing gear with a 21" measurement from the top of the top of weld stop to bottom of bottom weld stop so at this point you would have to remove your current weld stop brackets and weld on new ones to install new landing gears. The positive here is that it will open up your possible choices to give you what you want instead of just sticking with whatever is available in the specific size you currently have.

You'll want to choose a landing gear that's rated high enough for your 5th wheel, keeping in mind that the landing gear is only holding up a portion of the weight with the wheels picking up a majority of it.

The Landing Gear Set # RVLG-8000 you were looking at is a great starter option that can be upgraded from manual to electric with a motor # LC142178 and switch # LC145236. I also recommend swapping out the drop leg pins with the Spring-Loaded Pull Pin # RVLG-SPP to make lowering your landing gear fast and simple.

If you have other wants or needs pertaining to your landing gears or if you're already leaning towards a specific one already let me know and I can get you the info/parts you'll need.
