When installing a dual motor landing gear, the follower leg no longer exists because each side leg has a motor attached and adjusted individually.

We do offer landing gear sets that have dual motors. I recommend the Ultra-Fab Deluxe Electric Landing Gear Set, part # UF17-943010. This system has a lift capacity of 12,000 lbs with a 38 inch lift. each motor has its own toggle switch to make leveling the trailer that much easier.

For a system that has a 8,000 lb lift capacity, I recommend the Electric 5th Wheel Landing Gear Set, part # RP500708. This landing gear features 36 inches of travel.
