Welcome fellow podder! Definitely get the risers but also take some time to read through some of the old posts on this site. We found so much good information there when we were newbies.

We have taken a few 'rough' roads in the U.P. of Michigan (unpaved) AND my only regret is that I didn't have the axle risers.  Result was that the two rear jacks got kinda bent up.  Kept the speed down - didn't have any other issues.  As to the jacks, a few good whacks with my splitting maul got them back to 'almost normal' although when I jack them up there is a slight wow in the threaded screw in the middle.  Experience is a good teacher if you can learn from your mistakes AND remember them.]]> Mon, 26 Mar 2012 17:15:26 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2459&PID=23230#23230 rpod : I can't answer your question... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2459&PID=23227#23227 Author: Guests

for drinking and such to reduce weight. how would a slide on the rpod hold up under these conditions?
any input is appreiciated. any problems you might know that i should watch for would be helpfull as well. 
 
I wouldn't consider this without installing the axle riser 1st.
