It sounds like you are looking for stabilizer jacks for your 2018 Forest River Shockwave travel trailer. Landing gear is something you would typically find on a 5th wheel. If you are looking for some manual jacks for the rear then I recommend the Ultra-Fab Ultra Scissor Jacks # UF48-979002.

If you're looking for electric stabilizers then I recommend the Lippert High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack - White Switch Kit - 30" Lift # LC369774. This features legs that extend up to 30" for quick leveling and automatically adjusts to the terrain so you won't have an issue with uneven ground.

Depending on what you have now, you may also want to consider a full system like the Electric Ground Control TT Automatic 5-Point Travel Trailer Leveling System # LC672136. This system will automatically level and stabilize your travel trailer. It features 4 rear power jacks that work together to make sure your trailer is perfectly level. It also has hitch recognition to automatically return your trailer to the position at which you unhooked.

I have attached some review and installation videos for your reference.

For replacement Lippert landing gear you will want to measure the distance between the mounting brackets on your existing landing gear in order to find the right fit. This is the outside weldstop to outside weldstop measurement. For example, the Lippert Electric Landing Gear Set - Weld On - 37" Lift - 6,000 lbs # LC333964 has a measurement of 17-1/2". If this matches what you currently have then this would be the correct replacement.
