We have a 2010 174 and  I tried to get the riser kit from other than FR and no luck. FR is sure proud of them, but the cost is nothing compared to the damage the you can do by dragging. Fairly easy to in stall

I am looking for someone to install risers to my rpod 173 I live in Jax fl can you suggest anyone? I originally purchased my rpod from rivers RV her in Jax but they had some one buy then out and are not that familiar enough with this that I trust them. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Just an FYI I also want to pay someone to put a window in my door and also add an electronic lock. 
Thanks Julia

I installed my own nothing to it really with an impact wrench and a jack. The bolts that come with the kit are single use. The nuts have a burr on them that stops them form comming off. This makes them hard to tighten without a power impact wrench. Mine is electric but pnumatic would work to.

Yes, that is what I thought.  Thanks for chime in.   Can I ask where did you get your risers?  TIA..

Is this the kit I need?
