I know, I had a Dexter axle first but found it was only 3000# they changed it to a 3500# Lippert

I agree. From what I can read.

Lippert and Dexter axle risers are not interchangeable.

I was trying to ascertain if the Dexter components could be used on the Lippert Axles, wasn't getting anywhere on the interweb. Was my understanding that etrailer sells Dexter components. I know FR used both Lippert and Dexter axles.

If the rear jacks are your main concern, maybe SAV_A_JACKS might be another option.  I put them on my 179 in about 10 minutes.   the jacks ride inside under the slide when underway.

I've been doing quite a bit or research on risers for my HR 179.  Lippert no longer makes the 3inch blocks.  I got some historical help from Furpod on the topic.  Found a couple local spring/metal bending shops that will fabricate.  I just asked etrailer the very same question when I found the Dexter blocks. Here is a link to their answer.
Thanks

After scraping off a stabilizer jack in our first year, we had our dealer put the three inch risers (FR) on our 177. I don't know if I would be happy with less.

My 2015 178 has the 3" blocks, and as I recall a Lippert axle.
