The Lippert Components 32" Lead 5th Wheel RV Landing Gear Drop Leg w/Snap Pin # LC179013 is the lead leg, or the one that the gearbox and handle will attach to, while the Replacement 5th Wheel RV Landing Gear Follow Leg w/ Snap Pin for RVs # LC179014 is the follow leg, which connects to the drive leg via a cross shaft.

So the leaf leg has the gearbox on it while the follow leg is just attached to the lead leg with a cross shaft.
