I have a brand new set of RPod Axle Risers from Forest River. Decided not to use,
but there is re-stock fee from Forest River to send them back. I paid $150.00 but am willing to take a reasonable offer and pay the shipping. Contact me at crw813@att.net. Thanks! These are genuine Forest River parts, purchased through Couch's RV Nation. Love my RPod! |

There are more than one Axle Risers. They needed my Model and Vin number in order to get me the correct set.

Welcome. I moved this to the Flea Market forum.

I bought mine from forest river. They wanted my vin and said they were vin specific. They were only $75.00 for the ones I bought. I would check with who you bought them from and mention that.

My '12 Rpod 176T came with the risers. I got positive comments at the campground about the great clearance; but why did they add them in the first place? Was it for the clearance? |

Yes, many of us have found that the stock height is just too low. Damaged stabilizers are usually the result.

My main reason from the riser was for dumping. It's just too low to use a poo-tank, as is. |

are these hard to install...? I ask a local RV company and they advised not to do the mod as it wasn't safe?? can these be installed by the common handyman?
I have trouble parking my pod in my driveway.. it is on a bit of an angle and can't back straight in. I have to go in on an angle over my lawn.. I tore off one stabilizer already, and took a chunk out of my new pavement.. would really like these risers!

Not hard if you have some basic tools and a little knowledge of how to use them. It is a bolt on upgrade so no cutting or welding is required. It took me about 2 hours to complete. I would recommend using an impact wrench as it would be quite tedious to do with a ratchet. There was a good post on how to do it either here are on the nation forum.
