I know some people have ordered the risers from their local dealer, but I thought someone ordered them from the factory (post-delivery). I think I'm going to get the risers now. I don't want them but now that I've added a weight distribution hitch the ball is going to have to be much lower than I want to get it all level. The risers will solve that problem. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

BTW I contacted Lippert Components, Inc, who some have reported as the source of the risers, and they claim they don't make them (and don't recommend the use of risers!). Anyone have a part # I can email them? ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

You can order direct from Forest River. Contact Forest River R-Pod Parts Dept ; Phone 574-642-3119 Ext 209. I bought mine 4 months ago and they were $75.00 plus sales tax and shipping.

We also ordered them last summer directly from Forest River. Unfortunately, I cannot remember who Craig spoke with at that time. ------------- Terri and Craig and Panzer 2009 - 175 RPod 2000 Ford F250 XLT Extended Cab Diesel |

I suspect that the above contact information would get you the right person. ------------- Terri and Craig and Panzer 2009 - 175 RPod 2000 Ford F250 XLT Extended Cab Diesel |

I received a reply from Forest River, they gave me a different extension to call, and slightly higher price. I just called and left a message, it does say its the "Surveyor and R-pod parts department".
Your cost is $75.00 and you may call 574-642-3119 ext 209. We accept Visa or Master Card. There is 7% sales and shipping. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
