The Replacement Lead Leg # LG-179013 and Follow Leg # LG-179014 referenced in your question are direct replacement legs for the Stromberg Carlson # LG-1, # LG-3, and # LG-183708 Landing Gear Systems. They can also be used with many systems from Atwood, Venture, and Lippert.

I am not sure of the exact system you have installed on your Keystone Challenger, so your best bet is to take a few measurements to see if these replacement legs will fit with your existing brackets. They have a leg length of 29-1/2 inches with an overall length of 32-3/4 inches and a width of 2-1/2 inches. The distance between the weld stops is 17-1/2 inches from outside to outside or 15-1/2 inches from inside to inside. Compare these dimensions to what you currently have to make sure these will work well as replacements and line up to your current brackets without the need for any additional modifications.

I have attached an image with these dimensions labeled along with a couple short video demonstrations that you can also check out.

The Lippert part number you referenced is for the Ground Control 2.0 system which you'd have to use the part #LC241845 as a replacement for. There isn't a Stromberg part number that will work.
