Hey Kelly! In order to answer your question I'll need to know what axle is on your Forest River R-Pod. If you could email me a picture of the axle tag I would be more than happy to find you the right part.
Your trailer has a torsion axle so it will be a lifting block like the Torflex Lift Kit item # K71-723-01 you were looking at. However, I need to know what number your axle is because that one fits a #9 Torflex axle with a 2,000 lbs capacity.

Hey Kelly, did you get a chance to check the axle tag on your R-Pod to confirm which Torflex axle you have? Once you have that info, I can make sure the lift kit gives you the right height increase. Let me know what you find—I'm here if you need a hand narrowing it down.
