To find the correct replacement landing gear set for your 2014 K-Z Inferno you'll need to make sure that it has enough capacity to handle at least 25% of the trailer's GVWR and then check the measurements for the weld-stops to see if you can reuse your current mounting brackets instead of cutting them off and welding on new ones. For the spacing you'll want to measure the distance from the bottom of the upper weld stop to the top of lower weld stop and the distance from top of the upper weld stop to the bottom of the lower weld stop. This can be used to see if there's a compatible match.

The Landing Gear Set # RVLG-8000 you were looking at has a 15-1/2" measurement from the bottom of the upper weld stop to the top of lower weld stop and a 17-1/2" distance from top of the upper weld stop to the bottom of the lower weld stop, which is pretty common for most of the landing gear sets that we offer.

This landing gear set has an 8,000lb capacity and can also be automated with an optional motor # LC142178 if you're not wanting to hand crank the legs up and down.
