NX:  Thanks again for the guidance on this lift kit.  I installed it last year and it is working great.  Now I want to go with larger tires to get a little more clearance.  Did you go to the 15" wheel?  If so, do you know what the offsets and sizes are?  I need to figure out what to go with so the width does not cut down on the spacing between the back of the tire and the wall of the Rpod.  Thanks!]]> Wed, 06 Jul 2016 14:13:52 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4745&PID=78532#78532 $30 Lift Kit : Thanks for the info!

As Sean said ... any steel supplier would have that - or get it online (while it will cost more) here for example: http://www.speedymetals.com/pc-4713-8224-4-x-2-x-188-wall-rectangular-steel-tubing.aspx

Tnx!

On each side - lift the RV from under the axle, jack stands, take the wheel off, take the bolts off, lower the axle, put the new spacer, put the bolts, raise the axle, put the wheel, take the jack stands off, lower the axle.

One important thing - mark the alignment of the trailer frame and the axle. I used a masking tape

2x4x3/16" - 12" - $10 (per side)
Hardware - $10
4 holes to drill (per side)
Total time - 2 hrs

If you are just a bit handy - you'll figure this out. It is stronger, better and will cost you a lot cheaper than the outrageously expensive one going around for as much as $200

I did weld the corners - just because I'm crazy and I overbuild everything - but is not necessary. If I ever have to take the axle out - it will take me 10 mins to cut that weld. 
All the hardware should be minimum grade 5








Have fun !
