Jon, here's what I did:

Use advanced search

In the Search Keywords section:
Enter "jacking up my RPod for inspection" in the Keywords field
Select "match phrase"

In the Search Options section:
 Find posts "yesterday" "and older" (I always use this)
Under Search Forum, select either "Podmods, maintenance, etc" or "all forums" (what I usually use)

Hope this helps ..

Look up topic:



Jacking up my RPod for inspection



I added a post on 26 May 2013 which shows some pictures of a block I made.  It may not work for everyone but I still use it.

yeah, I still like the levitation suggestion.  Just need to figure out the hoverboard technology from back to the future.

Well, I confirmed this with Forest River-R-Pod Service Division. The recommendation is to jack on the axle even though the axle manual says to NEVER lift via the axle. Rhetorically of course, is it to much to ask FR to issue lifting point guidance on their vehicle? Thanks for your help on this Tech...I appreciate it.

I've watched Forest River actually change someones tire, on the axle right at the connection point to the frame is what they did and advised others to do.

But I still go with levitation with mine!  LOL
