Helpful Expert Reply:

Landing gear like the # UF17-943010 bolt into brackets that are welded to the frame of the fifth wheel. If the brackets from the existing landing gear can accommodate the 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 housing of the landing gear, and the existing brackets are in good condition, you can reuse them.

If you do not have existing brackets, there's no way around it, the brackets included with the Ultra-Fab landing gear will need to be welded into place. They cannot be bolted, because the bolt heads would prevent the jack from fitting into the bracket.
