Good find. That is an excellent price for the risers. ]]> Fri, 25 Jan 2019 21:17:47 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12553&PID=119996#119996 Axle riser part number/vendor? : Before scavenging parts to build... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12553&PID=119993#119993 Author: Motor7

Before scavenging parts to build my own I measured the bolt hole pattern of the factory axle to frame bracket....it's 9". I then noticed that my axle is not round or square, but diamond shaped, so that is what Etrailer was referring to(smacking myself in the forehead) It turns out that Etrailer riser part number :

Axle Riser Kit - Single Diamond Torsion Axle - 3-1/2" Lift - LC270682 

is the correct one for a Lippert 3500lb Diamond shaped torsion axle and it's $65. They have free shipping over $99, so I added the Anderson Wheel Chock and Leveler to put me over. Parts are enrouteThumbs Up

Fyi for anyone wanting risers. FR want $150 plus shipping and that might be a fair price.... But I have a MIG welder, so I am just going to make my own following this video:

The info on this thread has been greatly appreciated!

Greetings:  
I had the risers installed on both of the Pods I have owned.  I had the dealer install them.  It was less than  $200 including parts.  I dry camp every year and travel across some rough ground at times,  Plus driveway entrances.  I have the eastern model.  I understand the west coast model is higher.  One caution is to make sure the axle stays aligned.   You can use a string to the hitch  and measure.

Ok, I'll give FR a try....thanks.  I saw on their website where they want customers to order parts through a dealer so I was not sure about calling them directly. ]]> Wed, 23 Jan 2019 18:10:27 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12553&PID=119934#119934 Axle riser part number/vendor? : Originally posted by lostagainDoesn't... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12553&PID=119912#119912 Author: furpod

Yes, and yes.

This one might work, but they are calling it a "Diamond" model axle:
