Help with WDH choice

   After finding a set of portable steps that we think will enable my wife to enter our RP175 if it were raised (she has a titanium supported spine), I've ordered a set of risers. I will also, then, install a WDH. I've used 2 different Eaz Lifts with other trailers and was very satisfied with their install, adjustment, and performance. I would quickly buy another for the Pod if I knew that the spring bars were the right length to just hang the brackets on the Pod's frame and then do the rest of the install.

I can't find the specific specs for the Eaz Lifts that tell me the spring bar length. So, has anyone installed an Eaz Lift on their Pod, or do any of you have a specific WDH brand and model that is a good fit without having to worry about  clearing the LPG and battery mounts to mount the brackets on the frame rails? I don't want to order up a hitch and run into clearance problems, as some others have had to deal with. The goverment's budget could probably be balanced with what the return freight bill would cost!

	Here is a link to my review of the WDH I'm using. It cleared all brackets, etc. without a problem. http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1374&KW=&PID=11285&title=weight-distribution-hitch
