Thanks for the info. Any suggestions for what type of jack to carry while traveling.

WinkThe Lippert axle has two vertical splines on the rear side of the axle just inboard of the hub.  The jack should use these splines for lifting the axle.  Don't lift the axle on the round tube portion!

We have also had to jack up our 171 once and used a small floor jack on the frame just behind the wheel. Worked well.

I have not had to change a tire, but had to jack it up when I installed my riser kit.  Per the instructions, I placed the jack under the frame, just behind the wheel.

What is the best way to lift the R Pod to change a flat tire?
