The Ultra-Fab Deluxe Electric Landing Gear Set # UF17-943010 is identical to many OEM sets supplied by a variety of 5th wheel manufacturers. I checked with Newmar to see if they could confirm the original jacks on their 2003 5th wheels but they could not. However the technician I spoke to said he would be quite surprised if they were not a perfect drop-in replacement. The jack sets includes new brackets in the event they do not fit yours.

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…
