Helpful Expert Reply:
From my understanding all of the Forest River R-Pod trailers, like your 2020.5 195, use Lippert torsion axles. That means all you have to do is use one of their 3-1/2" lift kits to gain some more ground clearance for your trailer body (keep in mind though that your axle ground clearance won't change).
If you have a square torsion axle (axle tube is in-line with the brackets) then you need the kit # LC382741 but if you have a diamond torsion axle (axle is at an angle to the brackets) you need the kit # LC270682.
Attached is a review video for you to check out. I do recommend verifying that you have a Lippert Torsion axle prior to purchasing a lift kit though. If you happen to have something else just let me know and I can see what other options might be available.
