What to Do if Landing Gear Leg on Trailer is Bent
Question:
How hard is it to change out a bent leg?
asked by: Omer M
Expert Reply:
If your landing gear leg (inner or outer leg) is bent then I strongly advise replacing it. A bent leg can be an indication of other unseen damage. We have numerous replacement legs available for both the lead leg and the follower leg. But it depends on the model of your system.
For the most part, landing gear legs are interchangeable amongst manufacturers but there are some exceptions and you still need to get one that is the right height. If you know the make and model of the landing gear I can determine if we have an exact match or if another leg will fit.
I have included links to both the lead and follower legs we carry so you can browse through and see if any match up to what you have.
The install and removal isn't that difficult. Basically it just involves unbolting the legs from the trailer and then unbolting them from the cross tube between the jacks if present. A lot of that will depend on the brand of jacks you have though.
