Axle Riser Kit for a 2011 Forest River R-pod 171

Published 02/22/2019

Question:

Jameson, Thanks for getting back to me regarding the axle riser for my R=pod 171! I have attached two pictures of the axle on the trailer where it mounts to the body. Hopefully the label on the axle will give you the information that you need.

Expert Reply:

Can you check the VIN sticker/plate near the coupler of your trailer to get the axle capacity and brand? It can also be listed on the axle itself. I am fairly confident it's a Dexter Torflex 3500 capacity but Forest River won't give us that info currently.

Thanks for the pictures! Based on that the lift kit you need is the part # K71-707-01 which fits your Dexter Torflex 3,000 lb axles and will give you a lift of 2-5/8 inches.
