Are you looking for a replacement stabilizer or landing gear? If it is just an electric stabilizer the important dimension is the width of your frame. For example, the Ultra-Fab Power Twin II Electric Stabilizer with Dual Motors # UF39-941705 can be used at the back of your fifth wheel to stabilize it and will fit so long as you have a frame that is 48" to 80" wide.

To add electric landing gear what you'll need to do is measure the mounting brackets on your trailer from outside to outside and so long as they measure 17-1/2", which is the industry standard, you can use the Stromberg Carlson Electric Landing Gear Set # LG-1. The accompanying diagram shows you exactly where on your brackets you need to measure.

This landing gear has a 5,500 lb capacity which should be more than enough for your 5th wheel though there is also the Stromberg Carlson Electric Landing Gear Set # LG-3 which has a 6,500 lb capacity.

Both landing gear sets offer 34-7/8" of lift and have a cross shaft length that can be 41" to 71". I have added links to video reviews for you to take a look at as well.
