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!

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.

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.

My main reason from the riser was for dumping. It's just too low to use a poo-tank, as is.

Yes, many of us have found that the stock height is just too low. Damaged stabilizers are usually the result.]]> Fri, 06 Jul 2012 12:16:51 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2658&PID=25820#25820 R-Pod Axle Risers : My '12 Rpod 176T came with... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2658&PID=25810#25810 Author: The E Train

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?

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.]]> Tue, 12 Jun 2012 21:07:17 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2658&PID=25185#25185 R-Pod Axle Risers : Welcome.

There are more than one Axle Risers.

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!
