Been there. I drug the back of mine on the ground leaving a gas station in Breezewood PA (The Exxon for those that have been there), after which I decided risers were in order.

We had the same problem with our driveway and added the risers very soon after bringing it home.
Do you have any great camping spots that you like in the area? We found that Shenandoah River State Park now has rv camping and of course, Big Meadows. Will be in Canaan Valley State Park in WV in August. If you know any good places in the 2 to 3 hour drive area that has good hiking, let me know.

Hey Brin,
Yes, a local Virginian here and not far from you folks at all!!! I'm a very new owner of a 2010 175. (my first camping trailer) Once I get the little complication of the risers out of the way, I'm ready to have some camping adventures. In the first week of ownership, I kind of bumped the rear stabilizers as I went up a driveway......hence, the necessity of the riser/lift kit solution. I'm reading everything possible on this forum so I know what the heck I'm doing! Thanks to all... Nina |

Ah, yeah that would make it a hassle, the drive to NoVA isn't bad, my wife does it daily (she works in Tysons), but having to drive west and come back east doesn't make any sense at all. But your welcome..sorry I couldn't help out.
Interesting idea storing the pod near where you'll use it though..

Hi "Fishtail",
Thank-you for that extremely kind offer but, although I am located in Northern VA, my Pod is stored 90 miles west in the mountains. It makes it difficult for some of these repairs and things. Again, Thanks! |

Well...mine may have been there, I dunno. lol. I tossed the box almost immediately, as usually all that's in there is a receipt of some kind. Most folks put the instructions inside the box. Anyway, where in VA are you? The install is VERY easy, I could do it for you in probably an hour or so. And I could probably do it this weekend without issue.

Hi Fishtail..
I found the instructions behind the address mailing label affixed to the top of the shipping box. Since I know absolutely nothing about mechanics, I plan to drive the RPod to the nearest Camping Service Center, drop off the "Risers" and instructions and wish them all luck! Please know, this is the fist time in my life I've ever ordered a "part" for a vehicle of anykind!!! Therefore, I examined the box containing risers as though it was a shipment from outerspace! |

Yours came with instructions? Nice...mine didn't. They are easy to install though.
Edit:
After reading the instructions you posted, I'll update my DIY with the torque specs for the risers...thanks! |
