Shocks for 2008 Dually with Camper

My 2004 Keystone Sprinter Fifth Wheel has a Lippert Frame and I assume Lippert Landing Jacks. The driver's side jack is the one that has the electric motor on it. On our last trip, the driver's side leg would not retract back up. In pricing out replacement jacks, I found that there are rebuild parts kits available that are much cheaper than buying the entire leg. My question is how do I know which kit to get? How do I identify exactly what jackstand model I have? Is there a marking or number that I have missed that should be visible on the jackstands?
Thanks as always

If it is accessible, have someone turn the manual crank while you look down into the top of that side, might have to use a mirror. bg

Thank you BG, I will do that. When I use the electric motor, it goes down but won't come back up on it's own. I never thought to try the manual crank. I'll try it next weekend when I can get out to the trailer.
 
Local trailer supply house should have your gear sets. I took mine off in 05 and replaced the gear sets using the old to compare at the supply house.
 
Just remove that leg, be much easier to work on. Besure to block the trailer. E-trailer has these parts and they are very knowledgeable, and can give advice. I bent the screw drive on mine and it was cheaper to replace the whole thing as a set. Not hard to do. JUST use a lot of caution. I still have the fallower, or right leg, and it's in good condition. Also the newer legs have grease zerks where the bevel gears are to service them better.
