Recommended Landing Gear Replacement for my Lippert Components Setup

Question

Question:

I wanted to get a second eye on the replacement of my front landing gear which failed on a trip I am currently on. I have Lippert component that is currently on the vehicle, but I like the Bulldog Tandem Landing Gear Set - Leg - 36inch Lift - 8,000 lbs on your website. Could someone contact me and see if I am looking at a like for like replacement or at least get me your thoughts.

If you do not already have one the Replacement Manual Override Crank for Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jacks
part # BD500203 is a good fit.
