What is the Difference Between the Lead Leg and the Follow Leg on My 2008 Keystone Montana?
Question:
Good evening, I have a 2008 Keystone Montana. The right hand side jackscrew is stripped. The descriptions state lead leg and follow leg, which is which?

Expert Reply:
The lead leg of your landing gear is the leg that has the motor and gear box attached to it directly. The follow leg has a connecting bar that is attached to it from the lead leg to move at the same rate as the lead leg. The follow leg does not attach to the motor assembly and gear box directly.
If you need to replace your lead leg on your 2008 Keystone Montana, you need the Replacement Lead Leg for Keystone Montana 5th Wheel Landing Gear # LC178653. If you need to replace the follow leg on your vehicle, you need the Replacement Follow Leg for Keystone Montana 5th Wheel Landing
Gear # LC178652. I went ahead and attached videos of both legs to give you more perspective about the differences.
