That's not a bad price. I think I paid about 200 for mine installed. So much nicer in pulling and not worring about the bottom of the camper.

Hey....I just received my ordered risers from Forest River.
Since I'm from Canada, I either had to order them from my dealer (risers: 200.00$, freight 25.00$, Hst..26.00$)....or from the factory ( risers 75.00$, freight 33.34$, broker fee and taxes 43.31) ...Forest River told me they could not ship UPSS because of the weight ...so the order was shipped UPS.
Let's do the math again: from the USA 151.65$....from the Canadian dealer 251.00$
I got the risers within 10 days of ordering...the dealer informed me that they had to order the parts in from Forest River.
It pays to shop around..

Sounds like a fair deal. Out of curiosity, would the price from the dealer in Canada include installation?........probably not but if it did that wouldn't be a bad price. I would still install them myself and save a hundred bucks. If you don't mine could you give me your ordering information or contact at Forest River so I can order mine. Was this done by phone or on line?
Thanks

Thanks to all for their replies. I finally have some general answers to my original post. Forest River needed the diameter of my axle on the 177 Pod. I measured it but also saw the factory sticker(name plate data) from the axle Mfg. on the axle, took a digital pic and e-mailed it the dealer. They forwarded my e-mail to the axle Mfg., identified which axle I had and then the local dealer was able to give me a quote. The long and short of this is, the axle riser is about $88.00, shipping about $15.00, labor to install about $190.00, so we are looking at about $300.00 lump sum!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, the quoted price was for shipment only....no installation included....if this isn't a ripoff I wonder what is.

Sorry Gerald...I answered too quickly...
My order was placed online at the following address:
I completed the info and asked about the risers...Brandie was the courteous person I dealt with.
I was quoted the $ 75.00 + UPS delivery charges (address dependant). As for the broker's fees and taxes, they were paid when the delivery was made.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Lou, I wasn't expecting the dealer price to include installation, just wishfull thinking.
The contact info is perfect, thanks for your response. Will be ordering them shortly.
Have a great winter, Gerald

We recieved our risers from Forest River parts and shipping was about $86.00. Installed them today torqueing the nuts to 120 lbs. tired me out. Everything looks good wish that I had installed them a long time ago. Now we can get a WDH that will have enough clearance from the ground. David
