When your Venture landing gear lead leg is bent, corroded, or simply worn out, this is the direct factory replacement. Lippert part 73-1539 restores full extension travel and proper hitch-height range to your Venture 5th wheel landing gear system -- mounting inside the frame rail exactly like the original, and shipping with the snap pin you need to complete the swap.
The Venture landing gear system is one of Lippert's most widely installed 5th wheel jack systems. Over time, lead legs take the brunt of uneven ground loads, corrosion, and road vibration. A worn or damaged lead leg compromises leveling range, makes hitching inconsistent, and can put stress on the gear's cross-shaft and motor. Swapping it with the correct Lippert OEM replacement keeps travel and drop-leg geometry exactly as engineered.
This leg mounts on the inside of the frame rail, matching the original installation position. The integrated drop leg adds a full 16 inches of fast-crank extension at the bottom, so you spend less time grinding the manual override and more time leveled and hooked up.
Designed specifically for Lippert Venture 5th wheel landing gear. Matches original mounting position inside the frame rail -- no drilling or fabrication required.
35-3/4 in. of total travel lets you compensate for a wide range of campsite grades and hitch heights without maxing out the gear.
The 16 in. telescoping drop leg is part of the assembly. Extended with drop leg deployed: 68 in. total. Extended without drop leg: 52-1/4 in.
Ships with the snap pin required for installation. No additional hardware needed to mount and secure the leg to the landing gear assembly.
Three length figures are listed for this leg -- here is what each one means for your setup:
Replacement is a straightforward field job for an experienced RV owner with basic hand tools. The leg slides into the upper housing of the landing gear assembly and is secured with the included snap pin. No welding, cutting, or specialized equipment is required. The cross-shaft and gear box remain in place during this service.
This replacement leg is covered by Lippert's limited 1-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
