Hey Frank, since Atwood is no longer in business we can't get replacement legs for their setups which means your best option is to replace everything like with the Lippert # LG-4 that you referenced. We do know that the Lippert kits do fit the same mounting bracket dimensions as the Atwood so this will fit and work great as a replacement.

Hey Frank, how did the Lippert landing gear work out as a replacement for your Atwood setup on the Jayco Eagle? Knowing how the fit turned out could help others updating older fifth wheels too.
