Did anyone ever reply to the request for a resource to get the risers?

Our 2016 180 also came with a supposedly different axle that made risers unnecessary. Didn't care for that. For one thing, when I switch to 15" wheels, there will be zero fender clearance. So, I ordered a set of risers from FR. I like it better now.

Just got back from a 6500 mile trip in our new 2016 HRE RP-179, towing with a 2009 Tacoma. No issues whatsoever except a few instances on driveways where I wish we had axle risers. I contacted the FR dealer for a quoted price, but the price seems really steep for what they are (looks like C-channel about 8" x 4" with some bolt holes). I have a good friend willing to weld them up
 for me if someone can provide exact dimensions and material thickness please.Thank you,  Hank

Try the stabilizer move. It may save a changeover to the BAL's. I do need to add a two step unit soon. I use a portable step now that works but two steps would be better. One less thing to carry. I like the larger tires too. I wonder if the wheel bolt pattern is the same as the 14's I have now. I'll change out next year to Maxxis tires and get rid of the China "bombs" on there now. My brother works in SLO, lives in Morro Bay. I send him pictures of our blizzards and he laughs.
I tell him at least we won't fall into the ocean! Jack

Jack,
I like the stabilizer move idea. My tires are the HRE 235/75R15 off road ones and i only have 2" of clearance to the fender. and i kind of like that look. Moving the jacks would also let me keep the single step which is perfect now with two 8" steps. Also looking at this BAL unit, much tighter fit. Rgds John

I have the "green" 2017 179 (not HRE) built in June 2017 and I'm assuming it has the higher axle. However because of my goofy driveway the dealer added 4" risers also. My fender is now about 7 1/2 inches above the top of the tire. The dealer also moved the stabilizers forward about 18 inches. Simply a matter of unbolting, drilling some new holes and bolting on. That was the biggest improvement I think and there's no difference in their function. Try it. Jack
