Fifth Wheel RV Landing G ear System 8K Static 4

The Fifth Wheel RV Landing Gear System 8K Static 4 by REESE is the industry-standard stabilization solution for serious RV towers and fifth wheel operators. Designed for trailers rated up to 8,000 lbs of static load capacity, this landing gear system replaces the need for temporary support structures or makeshift jacks when disconnecting your fifth wheel from the towing vehicle. Whether you're setting up at a campground for an extended stay or performing routine hitch maintenance, this four-leg landing gear provides the structural integrity and mechanical advantage you need for safe, level positioning.

At 55.23 lbs with a compact footprint of 10 x 5 x 48 inches, this landing gear system uses a multi-leg design to distribute weight evenly and prevent ground penetration or sinking in soft terrain. The four-leg configuration dramatically increases stability compared to single-point jacks, reducing stress on the fifth wheel frame and eliminating the wobble that compromises both safety and living comfort. The mechanical crank-down system allows controlled, gradual lowering—critical for protecting plumbing, slide-outs, and interior components from shock loads that rapid descent can cause. REESE's engineering ensures the 8K rating isn't merely a static figure; it reflects real-world durability under repeated load cycling, freeze-thaw conditions, and the corrosive salt-spray environments many RV owners face.

This landing gear system is essential for anyone operating a fifth wheel trailer in the 6,000–8,000 lbs range, particularly those who frequently relocate or work in construction, agriculture, or survey applications where repeated hitching and unhitching occur. Professional RV technicians and fleet operators rely on REESE landing gear to reduce liability, extend trailer frame life, and simplify setup workflows on job sites. Installation is straightforward for most standard fifth wheel couplers; the system mounts directly to your existing hitch structure without specialized fabrication, making it a retrofit option for older rigs as well as new builds.
