What JT Strongarm Kit Should I Get For My 5th Wheel With 54-1/4' Between Landing Gears

Question:

I have a fifth wheel with 54 1/4 inches between the front landing jacks. The rear jacks are electric piston jacks. Which JT strong arm kit should I buy?

Hey John,

Since you have less than 58" between those landing gears you will want to go with part # LC191024. This is a kit specifically for 5th wheels with a distance between landing gears less than 58". Along with that you will want to go with # LC314592 which are adapters that will be used for the electric/hydraulic ones in the rear. This has everything needed to install in the kit for you.

What trailer are you putting these on?

Nick, Thanks for your help. A question on the strong arm stabilizer for my rear jacks - On my rear jacks, there is a rectangular foot pad. But the holes they drilled in the round leg were not in line with the cross member. The inside face on the foot pad where I'll attach the strong arm is not in line with the cross member I'll mount the strong arm to. Not sure if this matters. But if it does, does Lippert have a round foot pad for a 2 inch round leg for my rear jacks

@JohnE It should not matter when installing. The foot pad you are wondering about we have the # LC377962 as an option for the replacement. This uses a round tube, there is also one for a square tube as well # LC362486.

@NickS, Thank you so much. You've been very helpful. I'm all set. I'm gonna start with the LC191024 strong arm kit and the LC314592 adapter lugs. That should get me started. Once installed, I'll follow up with the LC377962 & LC362486 round foot pads at a later date. Budget issues. John

@JohnE That sounds like a good plan! You'll have to let me know how the install goes and how it works for you.
