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

Does anyone have experience with jacking up the Pod to provide more ground clearance?

Welcome.  Another thing you can do is remove some of the low-hanging stuff, like the jack and the sewer tube (which is too short to be useful anyway).  I added a swing-up jack in place of the fixed factory jack.

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

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.

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.
