R Pod axle lift kit - Event Date: 02 Mar 2019

I have a 2015 178, it has risers on it and is NOT a HRE. +1 to GlueGuy, pretty common mod. BTW my risers were not an addition, they came on it.

The post is "New Axle System for RPod" OP was taxman. Evidently risers were eliminated with new axle systems started in late 2015. Some discussion about warranty if risers are added but is not solved on this post, KyMooses says it does not violate warranty, others do.

From FR:

I just want to clear up some discussion on the new r-pod axles and the risers. The Indiana r-pods have always had the axle risers as an option and the Hood River Edition had them built in the package. We monitor option usage and when it hits and maintains a high precenatge of use, we look at making it a standard item. With working with our axle company we were able to achieve the same height as the axle risers by using a different pitch axle without having to add the blocks. The new axle sits approximatly 2 1/2 higher at the beam, gaining more gorund clerance there. The rest of the height is achieved at the end of the axle with the different pitch for a total rise of approximatly 3 1/2", the same as we had with the risers. In doing this we also redesigned the fenderskirt to have a consistant clereance over the tire (no more hump in the middle) for better appreance. I think some of the cofusion here is with the newly designed fenderskirt, most are thinking it doesn't has the rise because of no large gap above the tire. I'm sure there will be more discussion here and I will keep my eye out and try to answer questions.

You could take a look at the part number on your axle. Assuming its a Lippert axle it should look something like mine. Its the long sequence of letters and numbers starting with LC35H:

thank you , I was searching for this frame information ,as dealer wanted it prior to ordering any riser kit ,, not finding but will have a serious look again today
