ISO Axle Lift Kit

   Hello all,  i'm in search of an axle lift kit that is no longer made by lippert.  I have a 2017 RP180, but not the Hood River Edition, so it sits a bit low for my taste, and doesn't quite line up with my hitch (which is as low as it goes without a different drop - which may cost as much as a lift).

Does anyone have any resources I could check that I may be able to find one on a shelf in a warehouse somewhere?

thanks!

	Check Etrailer. They have several lifts and with different heights. Hood River edition is about 2.5" to 3" higher?

	You can also check with Forrest River, as I think they had a lift kit for non Hood River models. I do not recall the height, but I think it was a 2" lift.

	I ended up purchasing the lift kit for a Dexter axle for my 192. Two holes line up perfectly, the other two need to be elongated towards center 1/4" each. My trailer now sit about 2 1/2" higher. I got tired of replacing my waste valves because they were so low, they were easily damaged by uneven roads. Very happy with the conversion. The Dexter part# is K71-724-01 the 01 means 1 set for single axle trailers. Hope this helps someone.

	The Dexter kit is readily available, but it needs a minor modification see post below from Hardwear Hank Dexter part# K71-724-01
