I have a brand new set of RPod Axle Risers from Forest River. Decided not to use, but there is re-stock fee from Forest River to send them back. I paid $150.00 but am willing to take a reasonable offer and pay the shipping. Contact me at crw813@att.net. Thanks! These are genuine Forest River parts, purchased through Couch's RV Nation. Love my RPod! ------------- Welcome to RPod |

There are more than one Axle Risers. They needed my Model and Vin number in order to get me the correct set. ------------- Sean, 2011 Rpod RP-173,2009 Jeep Liberty Rocky Mountain Edition

I bought mine from forest river. They wanted my vin and said they were vin specific. They were only $75.00 for the ones I bought. I would check with who you bought them from and mention that. ------------- sjf |

My '12 Rpod 176T came with the risers. I got positive comments at the campground about the great clearance; but why did they add them in the first place? Was it for the clearance? ------------- "What happens in the POD, stays in the POD." 2002 Dakota (pulling a) 2012 R-Pod 176T |

Yes, many of us have found that the stock height is just too low. Damaged stabilizers are usually the result. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

My main reason from the riser was for dumping. It's just too low to use a poo-tank, as is. ------------- "Ray & Connie" - 2017 R-Pod RP-180 - 2007 Toyota Tacoma TRD-Off Road |

are these hard to install...? I ask a local RV company and they advised not to do the mod as it wasn't safe?? can these be installed by the common handyman?
I have trouble parking my pod in my driveway.. it is on a bit of an angle and can't back straight in. I have to go in on an angle over my lawn.. I tore off one stabilizer already, and took a chunk out of my new pavement.. would really like these risers!

Not hard if you have some basic tools and a little knowledge of how to use them. It is a bolt on upgrade so no cutting or welding is required. It took me about 2 hours to complete. I would recommend using an impact wrench as it would be quite tedious to do with a ratchet. There was a good post on how to do it either here are on the nation forum. ------------- Sean, 2011 Rpod RP-173,2009 Jeep Liberty Rocky Mountain Edition

You need a new local RV place. They are a factory option on pods east of the Mississippi, and STANDARD on pods west of it.. If you feel comfortable lifting and supporting the pod, and disconnecting (one side at a time) a straight axle, then you can add these. ------------- |
