Low Profile Stabilization Jacks

Yes, pod's are low. You could replace the stabilizers with " saveajacks" that are removable. You might want to look into lifting it. I believe the 193 weighs about 3600 pounds. Your dealer might say they don't make a lift kit for it, but, the same lift that is used on the lighter pods will work on the 193. It's hard to get a straight answer on this from anyone. I lifted my 195 a year or 2 ago, and everything is fine. Many people on the facebook page have used the same lift kit on 195, 196, 192, and 193. 

Thanks for the recommendations, I will explore these further and report back.

Originally posted by mjlrpod Originally posted by jato Is it possible any of these 190 series can be lifted the same way as the older 150 - 170 series by purchasing the 3.5" lift kit and installing it yourself.   Yes, that can be done. I have it on my 195.

I think the risers probably dont have much effect on the axles themselves. The axle loads ought to be more or less the same.

What does see more load with the risers is the frame. Consider what happens when your wheels hits say a curb. It is pushed backwards. That creates a moment/torque on the frame trying to push it up at the rear axle attachment and dowm at the front axle attachment. That torque is equal to the force of the wheel hitting the curb times the distance from the frame to the where the wheel is hitting the curb.

Obviously, with a lift kit that torque is greater because the distance is greater (by the height of the lift kit). As a thought experiment, if you had a
10ft lift kit you would probably be able to bend the frame or bust the attachment loosel by hand.

I hlave no idea how strong or not the frame on the bigger rpods is, but we do know that the frame on the 179/180/190 rpods is none too strong.

If I were adding lift kit now, I would make it significantly longer with frame mounting points farther forward and rearward so that the torque on the frame is spread out better.
