The combined lift and support capacity of the Reese landing gear set # BD500161 is 8,000 pounds. Each leg is rated for 4,000 pounds in this system. Landing gear is designed to stabilize a portion of your trailer's weight, not to support the full gross weight of your trailer. 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 legs.
The landing gear set up is the same on many 5th wheel trailers so it is very likely this set will fit your trailer. I have included a picture and a link to the installation instructions that explain installation.
