The 2017 Forest River R-Pod could use either the Axle Riser Kit - Single Diamond Torsion Axle part # LC270682 or Axle Riser Kit - Single Square Torsion Axle part # LC382741. It all comes down to what was installed at the factory which could have been either. Unfortunately, we don't have a way to look up exactly what you have so you'd need to physically check for yourself whether you have a diamond or square axle.
