We have the risers and you can see in the picture above that the step even when folded in is not really high.

I felt the step was a little low pre-lift kit, compared to going from the step into the pod.  Now its an even step up from ground-step-pod.

Took mine off yesterday, possible record setter for today in Southern Indiana 83 degrees F. Pulled the Pod to work this morning and Put the lift kit on, Its so much easier with professional quality floor jacks, big air compressors and employees that are professional mechanics, took about 20 minutes, I like the looks of her setting up. It really has not hurt the height of the step, I think its better than before the lift kit was on. Now dewinterize and hit the road.

Here is a picture of the GastroPod in 'her' winter coat just waiting for spring. The door cover zips up on both sides of the door for easy access and there is a velco strip to hold the rolled up flap. The one problem I have found is that the snow drops off the roof and down your neck when trying to get into the pod during the winter Shocked - but it's a dry cold in Alberta.
