Replacement Lead Leg for RV Landing Gear

Question

Question:

I have a 2006 Forest river Flagstaff 26foot 5th wheel. Model # 8524 RLS. I need a replacement lead landing leg. I am not sure if I need a LG 179013 or a LG 177202. The black portion of the landing gear is 29 !/2 inches long. This is an electric jack. The picture of the 177202 looks like the same jack, but it is 33 1/2 inches long. How do you measure these and where do I find the part Number. The number on the metal top cap on the leg is VMC900R- 166423

The Stromberg Carlson Replacement Lead Jack w/ Drop Leg # LG-179013 that you referenced, is a direct replacement part for jacks from Stromberg Carlson, Lippert and Atwood. It is very likely that Forest River used landing gear from one of these companies. Usually part numbers for a jack will be found stamped into the outer tube near the bottom.

This part's outer tube does measure 29-1/2-inches tall. This part is compatible with both hand-crank and motorized landing gear and should work fine for you.

I attached a picture that shows where the zerk fitting for greasing the Lippert landing gear part #LC179013 is, but if your landing gear does not have any fittings best bet would be to take off the top (if possible) and apply grease to the bevel…

That spindle looks pretty well destroyed so best option is going to be to replace the axle. You are going to need to measure your current axles in a few places to get the correct one as we don't have access to what your numbers reference. You…
