Toss out that cross shaft, and add more lifting power and leveling control. 74" bracket height when extended. Multiple weld stops let you choose where to mount the new legs. Total lift includes 17" of drop leg travel.

Notes:
There are some benefits to not having a cross shaft on your landing gear. First, each leg isn't bearing the burden of the other as it is in a single-motor system. And since each leg works on its own, you can adjust each one separately when stabilizing your rig. When you have a cross shaft, lowering both legs on uneven terrain can not only prevent your trailer from being perfectly level, but in extreme cases, bend and warp your chassis.
Second, you're creating more clearance above the motors, which makes more room for cargo, or anything else you need to carry with you on your journey. A cross shaft otherwise limits your ability to stack and store cargo around your landing gear. However, if you're comfortable with a little DIY work with the electrical wiring, you could wire both legs to work with one switch. That way, you'll get the benefit of a dual-motor setup, the simplicity of a single-motor setup, and still not have a cross shaft limiting how much cargo you can keep in your cargo hold.
But when you solve one problem, sometimes you create another. So, there are a few things you should keep in mind if you're considering upgrading to this set of landing gear. First, responding to emergency power failures will take a bit more time. The electric-only option is not compatible with a manual hand crank, so without the cross shaft, you won't be able to use a manual hand crank to lower both legs at the same time. Instead, you'll remove 4 screws that connect the motor to the leg, and use a large flathead screwdriver on each leg to lower each one individually.
This can turn into a real chore if your legs are in the furthest corners of your storage compartment, as shown above.
Even when the power is on, the Ultra-Fab Deluxe landing gear has a screw travel rate of 1 inch every 15 seconds. In total, that means extending the full 21 inches would take you about 5 minutes. Fortunately, the 17 inches of drop leg travel should help to reduce some of that time.
Landing gear stabilizes about 25% of your trailer's total weight when it's loaded with cargo. For example, a 14,000-lb trailer has a pin weight of about 3,500 lbs. For these legs to work, you'd need a set of landing gear strong enough to lift no less than 3,500 lbs. And, yes, it's okay to have some legs with a weight rating that is higher than your trailer's pin weight. In fact, they should operate more efficiently, allowing you to spend less time cranking and more time camping.
Note: Do not use landing gear to lift your trailer or RV during tire changes or service work, because doing so will exceed the capacity of the landing gear.

Wowzers, what having two motors working to lift my 5th wheel toy hauler. Lifts it with no problem. Fast, makes hooking up and unhooking a breeze. No more struggling like it would with the stock single motor setup. Wish I would have done this years ago, not when one of my legs gears stripped on the first day of a 5 day NASCAR weekend. Good thing I had a 6 ton bottle jack, several wood blocks, got it off my truck, enjoyed the weekend and ordered these first thing when I got home. Install wasn't bad, if you work on things, should be no problem. Mild modification of my trailer hangers and flooring in the storage where the legs are, but nothing major. Hooked up to my truck to take the weight off instead of using jack stands. About 6 hours total, took my time to do it right.
I bought this to replace the under powered OEM landing gear on my 2018 39' toy hauler 5th wheel. I received great service from etrailer staff. First time for me to remove and replace landing gear so after 1 or 2 youtube videos I was able to get it done with a little grinding and drilling (and cursing).
I've been using the new landing gear for a year now and here are my thoughts:
PROS:
Ability to adjust the 2 sides independently. Makes leveling much easier.
Quality hardware and stronger motors.
CONS:
The toggle switches that come with it are very stiff and a bit awkward to use.
The pin at the bottom of each leg is not attached. You have to pull it out, then line it up with the hole to replace it. All others I've seen have a spring loaded guided pin.
The legs don't go up or down any faster than the OEM. Although that was never claimed, I was hoping they would.
Overall I am happy with the product. I will say, if I had to do it again I would strongly consider going with the competitor's product for the better controls and spring loaded pins.
I received the Jack's in acceptable time, free shipping was great. 1 jack failed upon install. It was replaced and is working now. I'm glad I had the time to wait. etrailer good company and I will order from them again

Received a faulty jack originally but you guys responded so quickly and made it right. I really appreciate the excellent service. It has worked great. Better than stock
Just got them installed and seem to work as advertised. Having two motors rather than one really makes a huge difference when lifting my 15K lb. fifth wheel off the gooseneck hitch on my truck. I also love the idea that we’ll be able to fine tune the final adjustments when setting up camp since each jack works on its own switch. My only complaint is the switches is big and bulky.
I have a 2013 Heartland Toyhauler, weight about 12,000 pounds, we added large solar panels on the roof thus have a large battery bank running across the front, adding an extra weight at 800 pounds. The factory 6000 pound jacks where having a difficult time lifting the trailer off the hitch, straining. These new jacks motor on each leg, no problems lifting, there rated at twice the load rating at 12,000 pounds. We removed the front cover section on the front of the 5th wheel in order to gain access to the jack locations. The Jacks fitted right in where the old ones went. I made up a small box to mount the two switches, with an long cord, that connect and sits in the side lockable basement storage. So no outside switches, added security, there no way to move the jacks, unless you unlock the side basement compartment, plus i added a master shut off switch so there's is no accidental activations. I going to be building a custom enclosed trailer this year, and i be using these jack, for sure.

Great Jacks easy install all parts needed came with it.
In my opinion these are a must have for a 5th wheel camper. Work great bolted right into mine no mods
Makes it easy to level 5th wheel with the Level-Mate Pro.
This ultra fab product replaced two bull dog products that were aweful. They have performed flawlessly! I would recommend them to any of my friends.
Replaced a single motor, dual landing gear for these. They work flawlessly and we’re simple enough to install. The set with 1 motor was underpowered and would not lift the 5th wheel toy hauler. These power it up with no issues.
Much better than my original landing gear on my 2007 Cyclone that I had to fix several times and got tired of fixing... bad design on the original.
Great Product and Service from etrailer as always !!!
Greatest thing I have ever and will ever purchase for my toy hauler. HIGHLY recommend. If I could put 10 stars I would.
Upgraded my 2008 Weekend Warrior LED 3505 to the Ultra-Fab and couldn't be happier! The original Venture landing gear was complete garbage and has failed 3 times now. The Ultra Fab landing gear lifts much faster and sounds better. Another positive thing is the storage space I gained over the generator from removing original erector set. Ultra-Fab landing gear is much more robust compared to the original. I'm completely pleased with etrailer.com and their awesome service. I've talked a friend of mine into upgrading his garbage gear to the Ultra-Fab from etrailer. It was a bit of work to install, but my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Thanks, etrailer!

Still going strong, so glad I upgraded so much better than the original system.
Camper jacks are built very stout, they were easy to replace my old jacks, plenty of wire for hooking them up and made it a nice clean look. Jacks are twice as fast as my old landing gear and run smooth and quiet. I've been very pleased with the jacks as they have worked very well.
I bought this item and had a welder weld up brackets
Installed (wired up motors ) and one did not work .. called company they gave me phone number of manafacture and I called .. got tech on phone ... had motor in 3 days and just now wired up and is working fine ... they seem a little slow but I have a 36’ goose neck with a lot of weight up front with living quarters and etc I’m happy with them and would recommend them

Jack are working fine ... have had no problems with them ... they are a life saver at my age
We just had the landing gear installed (by Professional Trailer Repair in Tucson. Would 100% recommend them). The landing gear works well and seems very solid. I really like having the two motors to individually adjust the legs. Only downsides: (1) there isn’t an easy way to manually raise/lower if the motor blows, (2) the pin to keep the legs in place has a little ball on the end instead of a cotter pin…it seems like it could come out very easily when bouncing down the road.

The landing gear work great. No problems at all.
These are OK, and with a fair amount of work and creativity I have got it set up perfect for what I wanted. The jacks extend very slowly. My main complaint is with the wiring: first off the 5 feet of wire provided is simply ridiculously short considering it is designed for a vehicle that is 8ft across, when I contacted fabtech to ask for extra wire they just offered to sell me a switch assembly that would come with another 5ft of wire pigtail. Also the jacks have a pigtail that needs to be soldered to the wire. This should be designed with a socket in the jack itself and the wiring harness should be 15ft long (excess can be coiled or shortened) with a plug that simply pugs into the jack & should have the battery terminals already on the cable. The switches are cheap, but better switches can be found, would be nice if it just came correct out of the box, but maybe that's just expecting too much.
This was a very good set of landing gear that replaced a defective leg on my trailer. Went in easy as the old ones were a match.
Just got it yesterday, haven’t opened box yet. Box looks a little beat up, imagine why, weighs 77 lbs. if any problem I’ll be sure to let y’all know.

Still working great, no issues, no complaints
Easy install and they work great!
I LOVE that there will no longer be a bar connecting the two jacks. It would have to be removed in order to service my generator. These new jacks are faster than what I replaced. The quality appears to be top notch. The notches on the jacks didn't line up the same as my old jacks. In fact the bottom ones got in the way of the bracket on the trailer. I made some modifications. I pounded the bottom notches back in (I shaved the edges with a grinder so it wouldn't get all mashed up). I spot welded the included new brackets in the location of the old jack notches so that the jacks would be mounted securely between the two brackets. Everything works great. I mounted the switches in the propane compartment so they are somewhat hidden. I also had to cut off a piece of the tube used for the old external manual jack lift that was in the way of the motor. In all it took longer than I thought it would but It's nice to take your time and do it right.
I purchased this product to replace the landing gear that had failed on my 5th wheel. I called around to a few other dealers and they were not very helpful. Ricky S. at e trailer was able to give me the product specs. that I needed and took my order that day.
My product arrived one day earlier than expected.
I installed the new landing gear myself and I must say that if you are a mechanical novice don't attempt yourself. This of course depends on your coach design. Mine is a toy hauler and the passenger side jack is right next to the generator. It was a challenge to get the old jack out and the new one end. However with that being said the new landing gear works as advertised and I am happy that I used e trailer to make these needed repairs.
Worked great, jacks are fine but I have replaced both the switches. Switches need to be sealed.
Awesome product. Surprisingly easy install. Fit right in factory brackets on a 2018 voltage triton 3551. Love the dual motors with individual controls. Hardest part of install was having to leave to go buy some 8 gauge connectors to connect power from both motors to power from trailer. The factory landing gear was rated at 6000 lbs. now with the 12000 lb landing gear the motors don’t sound like they are straining.

Nothing has changed, works great, lift it with no problem, no struggling like with the old one motor set up. If you have to replace your one motor landing gear system, suck it up and get these.
