I'm assuming you're speaking of a gooseneck or 5th wheel trailer.

There isn't a minimum distance, as the placement of the landing gear is dictated by the design of the trailer itself. On a gooseneck or 5th wheel, the landing gear are installed at the front of the body of the trailer itself, under the 5th wheel loft or the extension for the gooseneck coupler.
