The Landing Gear Set part # RVLG-8000 is rated for 8,000 lbs like what you believe your current landing gear's weight capacity is. It also has a leg height of 32-3/4 inches to 53-1/4 inches giving you a travel of 20-1/4 inches which will work well for your application. This jack can be operated manually using part # RVLG-HDL or with a 12V DC motor using part # LC142178.

The weld stops on this landing gear set have distance of 15-1/2 between the bottom of the upper weld stop and the top of the lower weld stop. The measurement from the top of the upper weld stop to the bottom of the lower weld stop is 17-1/2 inches (see attached picture). Even though these are standard measurements you will want to go out and measure your current weld stops to see if this is compatible. If they are not the same measurements then you can either remove one of your current weld stops and have a professional welder install a new one in the appropriate place or you can have the weld stops removed and this set welded on.

Some landing gear legs are compatible with each other but since it is not a guarantee it is always wise to go ahead and replace both legs at the same time so that they extend and retract at the same rate.

I have attached a demonstration video where one of our team members goes over a few more features of the landing gear that you can check out.
