ground clearance - Event Date: 05 May 2013 - 27 Aug 2013

I negotiated the risers into the purchase of my 2014 RP178 and agree with those who think they should be standard on all units. Wish they would offer an R Dome that was built for and R Pod with risers! 

I would like to get even more clearance than what the risers provide.  What have others done to get more clearance? Has anyone put bigger tires on their R Pod?  It looks like it could take bigger ones.  

Where would one go to learn what the process is to remove the sewage drain tube? Also, what is the process for draining the black water once the sewage tube is removed?  

Thanks for the report, Moe.  I am a few days behind you in installing my risers.  I am confused about making a reference mark to be sure the axle is correctly aligned.  Doesn't it have to be properly aligned for the bolts to line up with the holes?  Just asking.

I just finished installing my riser kits this morning,2 1/2 hrs tools put away and cleaned up. I`m kinda slow. the one thing i did that I haven`t heared any one talk about is making sure the axle get back to the same position for alignment purposes. I made a reference mark and used a square,it didn`t go back on it`s own. all in all it was a pretty easy job. 

I am the one that just purchased the riser kit for $150.00 directly from FR.  Installation is very simple if you have jack stands and a floor jack.  There are only 2 bolts on each side to remove and 4 bolts on each side when you install the risers.  I believe it will only take me about an hour since I have all the tools ready to go.  By the way, FR furnishes all new bolts, washers and nuts with the riser kit.

As techntrek said, it should take only an hour or two to install them, and $500.00 seems very high.

Thanks for all of the replies, I did not anticipate that FR would have a riser-kit. Perhaps it should be standard???
