What Is The Difference Between A Lead Leg And A Follow Leg for a Lippert Level-Up System?  

Updated 09/12/2025 | Published 05/19/2025

Question:

Hello, We have a 2018/19 Heartland Gateway 3230CK 5th wheel with a Lippert Level-up system. It has six legs. Two front landing gear and four mid/read landing jacks. The front landing gear are 14K six hole. The rear/mid landing jacks are 8K eight hole. My right front landing gear has started to leak. How do I know whether I need LC83ED lead leg or LC23ED follow?

Hey John, thanks for the information. The lead leg of your landing gear is the leg that has the motor and gear box attached to it directly. The follow leg has a connecting bar that is attached to it from the lead leg to move at the same rate as the lead leg. The follow leg does not attach to the motor assembly and gear box directly.
