I talked with Forest River. She said they currently have no supplier of Axle risers either in Indiana or Oregon. She suggested calling r-pod dealers and seeing if any of them had stock-piled any risers. You guessed it absolutely zero (even courtesy) response from dealers. If they are not patented and if someone who bought has measured the dimensions, hole placements, bolt sizes, etc; I have a metal fabricator who could make them in a heart-beat. Thx. geo.

I plan to pick up my RPOD in the next day or two to do some work on it, not sure how well I'll be able to get dimensions for you since it's in place already though but I'll try and take some pics while at it too for ya.

| I did find some pretty good pictures and dimensions. thx. I am presuming the dimensions are independent of the r-pod year and model... |

What RPOD model do you have? Majority are the same setup so the riser's will be the same as well.

2 different axles and I believe 2 different risers as a result. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Oosiker, I spoke with Amy at Forrest River today and got the same info; no supplier.for the risers I've spent the afternoon calling every Forrest River dealer I can find online with no luck for  on hand stock. I have a 2012 R177. Amy told me based on my VIN I should have a Dexter axle. The factory part number for the riser kit for this axle is 10F10587A. If you locate a kit or are able to have a set of risers fabricated I need a set too. I'm attempting to attach a drawing of the deminsions for a riser. The poster didn't specify which model these are for but it was posted in this forum in 2011. Good luck with your search!

Dexter axle risers are now available again through forest river 😉
You can contact the parts dept. And they can get them ordered for you. |
