Stop wrestling with finicky hair pins every time you level your fifth wheel. The Lippert 119113 is a heavy-duty, spring-loaded quick release pull pin that drops right into your existing landing gear legs -- no welding, no special tools, just a bolt-on swap that makes height adjustments faster and less frustrating at every campsite.
Standard hair pins are slow to remove, easy to drop in gravel or grass, and awkward to reinstall when your hands are full or the light is fading. The Lippert 119113 replaces that old pin with a spring-loaded quick release design -- pull to disengage, reposition the leg, release to lock. The spring snaps it secure every time so you don't have to fiddle with a cotter pin or bent wire.
At 3/8 in. diameter with a zinc plated finish, this pin is built for outdoor use and the kind of repetitive cycling that landing gear sees season after season. Installation is bolt-on: fit it once and leave it in place, or remove it as needed -- your choice.
Pull to disengage, release to lock. No loose clips, no dropped cotter pins, no fumbling in the dark.
No welding required. Installs in minutes with basic hand tools and fits existing landing gear hardware.
Corrosion-resistant coating holds up to road spray, moisture, and repeated outdoor use.
Works with most landing gear leg styles. 3/8 in. pin is sized for standard 7/16 in. holes found across common jack designs.
Hair pins (also called R-clips or cotter pins) are the factory default on many trailer landing gear legs because they are cheap and simple. In practice, they are slow -- you have to bend them, thread them, and pull them free every single time you adjust your height. They bend over time, corrode, and have a habit of disappearing into the dirt right when you need them most.
The Lippert 119113 keeps the pin captive and spring-retained, so it can't fall out on its own and doesn't need to be removed from the trailer between adjustments. If you level your rig frequently -- especially full-timers or people who move campsites regularly -- this is one of those small upgrades that makes every setup noticeably quicker.
No welding, cutting, or drilling into existing structure is required. The pin installs using your existing hole pattern or a simple bolt-through method. Typical installation steps:
The Lippert 119113 is primarily designed for fifth-wheel trailer landing gear but is broadly compatible with any jack or stabilizer leg that uses a 3/8 in. diameter pin in a 7/16 in. hole. Common applications include:
