When a landing gear leg gets bent, corroded, or stripped beyond repair, you need an exact OEM replacement -- not a universal workaround. The Lippert Components 119101 is the factory Venture follow leg designed to slot directly back into your existing Lippert landing gear assembly, restoring full leveling function without fabrication or guesswork.

Direct OEM Replacement for Lippert Venture Landing Gear Systems

Lippert Components is the dominant supplier of slide-outs, leveling systems, and landing gear to the North American RV industry. The Venture series of electric and manual landing gear is one of the most common 5th wheel stabilizer platforms on the market, found on trailers built by Forest River, Keystone, Heartland, Grand Design, Coachmen, and dozens of other manufacturers.

This 119101 leg is the follow leg -- the inner telescoping tube that extends downward from the main housing as the jack is deployed. It is the component most likely to sustain damage from road debris impact, overextension, or corrosion at the contact point with the ground. Replacing only the follow leg is a practical repair that saves the cost of replacing the entire landing gear assembly.

OEM Fit

Factory Lippert part number 119101. Drops directly into existing Venture landing gear housings without drilling or modification.

Sold Individually

One follow leg per order. Order two if you need to replace both driver-side and curb-side legs at the same time.

33.5" Leg Length

At 33.5 inches long, this leg matches the factory travel and extension range of the Venture landing gear series.

Sturdy Steel Construction

Heavy-duty steel tube construction consistent with Lippert's OEM landing gear components, rated to handle the static tongue loads of a fully loaded 5th wheel trailer.

What Is a Follow Leg?

On a scissor-style or column-style RV landing gear assembly, the mechanism typically consists of two main parts: the outer housing (which is bolted to the trailer frame) and the inner follow leg (which slides or threads downward to contact the ground). The follow leg bears the full compressive load of the trailer's tongue weight during setup and leveling.

Because the follow leg is the component in direct contact with pavement, gravel, and ground moisture, it is particularly vulnerable to:

  • Impact bends from road debris or a missed jack pad
  • Thread wear on screw-drive style systems
  • Rust and surface corrosion from ground contact
  • Deformation from accidental driving with the gear partially deployed

Replacing the follow leg restores full travel range and load capacity when the housing and motor are still in serviceable condition.

Repair vs. Replace the Full Assembly: If the outer housing, gearbox, and motor are still functional, replacing only the 119101 follow leg is a cost-effective repair. Inspect the inner bore of the housing for straightness and the drive mechanism for stripped teeth before ordering just the leg.

Fitment and Compatibility

The Lippert 119101 is designed for use in Lippert's Venture series landing gear. Lippert supplies landing gear under several brand names and part-number families to OEM trailer manufacturers. To confirm this is the correct leg for your specific landing gear assembly:

  • Locate the Lippert part number tag on your existing landing gear housing -- it is typically on a sticker or stamped plate on the outer column
  • Match the overall leg length (33.5 inches) and cross-section dimensions (approximately 4.5 x 2.5 inches at the tube) against your existing follow leg
  • Common trailers equipped with Venture-series Lippert landing gear include Forest River 5th wheels, Keystone Montana, Keystone Cougar, Heartland Bighorn, and similar mid-to-large 5th wheel models from the mid-2010s onward
Tip: If you still have the original follow leg, measure its length, outside tube dimensions, and note whether the drive interface (threaded, keyed, or splined) matches the 119101 before ordering. Lippert uses several leg sizes across their landing gear lineup.

Installation Overview

Replacing a Venture follow leg is a manageable DIY repair for an RV owner comfortable with basic hand tools. General procedure:

  • Fully retract the existing landing gear using the hand crank or motor
  • Block and support the trailer frame so the landing gear is unloaded
  • Remove the retaining pin or clip that secures the follow leg inside the outer housing
  • Slide or unthread the damaged follow leg out of the housing
  • Insert the 119101 replacement leg, align the drive interface, and reinstall the retaining hardware
  • Test through a full extend-and-retract cycle before loading
Maintenance Tip: After installation, apply a light coat of white lithium grease or marine-grade grease to the sliding surfaces of the follow leg. This reduces wear, prevents corrosion at the housing interface, and ensures smooth operation through the full travel range.
Heads Up -- Jack Pad Recommended: Always use a properly sized RV jack pad under the follow leg foot when deployed on soft ground or asphalt. Direct contact with hot asphalt or soft soil can cause the foot to sink, creating a side-load condition that bends the follow leg over time.

Important Information
  • This is a replacement follow leg only -- it does not include the landing gear housing, motor, gearbox, or any mounting hardware.
  • Sold individually. If both driver-side and curb-side legs need replacement, order two units.
  • Always support the trailer frame with jack stands before removing the landing gear leg. Never work under an unsupported trailer.
  • Confirm OEM part number 119101 matches your existing Lippert landing gear assembly before installation. Lippert produces multiple leg sizes; using the wrong leg can result in improper fit or structural failure under load.
  • Do not exceed the weight rating of your original landing gear assembly. This leg restores OEM capacity -- it does not upgrade the system's rated tongue weight limit.
  • Never drive with the landing gear deployed, even partially. Impact at road speed is the leading cause of follow leg damage and can destroy the housing as well.
