Axle Riser Kit

I have read several posts praising the benefits of the FR axle riser kit for R-Pods.  Unfortunately, the price seems steep for such a simple kit.  Does anyone know of an aftermarket kit or has anyone fabricated a set for their R-Pod?

Scrape off a couple of jacks and you will have paid for the risers.

Liability,liability, liability. That's what we pay for

Thanks everyone for the photo and the comments.  I agree, fabrication would be a simple task, if you have the necessary equipment and steel stock.  I no longer have my welder nor do I have the steel stock, but I do have the skill and the cutting and boring equipment required.  Add in the cost of SS hardware, I doubt if I could replicate the FR product less expensively. 

Just a few observations.  My use of the term "axle riser" was inappropriate.  The risers are simply a pair of spaces between the axle and the trailer frame.  The rise is in the framework and body of the pod, not the axle. 

As for liability, personally installing risers is no different in terms of liability to installing a trailer hitch.  If FR risers should fail, FR could claim the failure was due to faulty installation, product abuse, etc.  Personal injury before or during installation is the installer's liability.  As furpod said, the manufacturer is only responsible for defects in design, material or manufacture.

Since the risers are only spacers, there is really no reason why they have to be 4" high.  From what I have been reading, perhaps a 2" or a 3" height would be better.

When I posed my question, I was hoping an after-market product might be available, but apparently that is not the case.  Can someone tell me what FR charges for the axle kit and shipping cost to the pod owner?  I am assuming all the necessary hardware is included.

Personally I wish they were 6" instead of 4".
