We just had a WDH (Fastway e2 hitch trunnion style) installed on our 2011 Honda Pilot and 2015 179 pod. They had to use a longer shank in order to get the ball down far enough to level it out with the pod. But the clearance between the bottom of the WDH and ground is low and concerns us. I am guessing this is why folks have used the lift kits. Can someone tell us what kits you used and did you install them and how high did it lift the trailer?
Thanks

Clever and solid solution to the rear jack clearance problem. Thanks for sharing this.

3/4in angle 2 pices 1/4 flat steel total size about 4 1/2 in. use an angle grinder with cutoff wheel to narrow the top of jack so it will slide into the pocket. don't forget to put the jacks away when you tear down. these work great for me Dennis

I recently say this RV Stabilizer in Camping World and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with using it on an RPOD?  Both good and bad.

I see the min frame height for these is 14 inches. I don't know if you have that much in a Pod.
