Question:

Hi. I have a 2020 R-Pod 196. I am looking for a lift kit that would raise the trailer. What do you sell? Prefer a 3.5inch lift approx.

Hey Marty, thanks for reaching out!

You'll likely be installing the Lippert 3-1/2" Axle Riser Kit # LC382741 on your 2020 R-Pod 196 but you'll need to confirm that your R-Pod is equipped with a square torsion axle rated for 3,500 lbs and bolt hole spacing at 7-7/8" on center.

You can either verify which axle you have or send me a photo of the tag on in the middle of your axle so I can confirm which lift kit will work for your R-Pod.

Hi. The axle is not square but diamond shaped. Square I guess but turned 45degrees.

@Marty Ah, thank you for the info! In that case you'll need the Lippert kit 270682, which has been discontinued. You might try to see if you can find it elsewhere, and if not then you'll need to have a trailer shop fabricate something for you instead.

@JonG Hi John. Do you have the specs for the 270682. I most like will have to have it made. Thanks
