That explains some things! Thanks
I bent the left rear pulling out of a gas station in Fort Bragg,CA. It still works but the threaded rod is tweaked and i have to push the jack a little to make it straight. My driveway is do-able but i have to go slow and come in at an angle or it hits. The new blue HRE has heavier duty jacks than mine also. rgds John

Your 2016 HRE has the reclocked axle, FR didn't put risers on, because it was felt they were not needed anymore.. The 2017 has a reclocked axle AND risers, because some people apparently can't keep from dragging. Our pod has neither, is as low as any pod can be, never an issue...

Don't know about the HRE, but the new 180s are built higher and FR just did away with the riser option.

I have a 2016 180 hood river, I thought the hood river editions were higher off the ground. I just looked at a 2017 new blue 180 and the floor is 3.5 " higher off the ground than mine with 2 steps. There are 3.5" welded on riser blocks on the new one and none on mine.
Did they forget to install them or is mine a little higher because of taller tires or were they an option i didn't have? I tow perfectly level and both jacks are bent already, (low driveways). And can i order them online somewhere? I'm 3 hours to the dealer. thanks John
