Dexter Lift Kit Compatibility with Lippert 3500 Torsion Axle on 2017 R-Pod 179

Question

Question:

I have a Lippert 3500 axel on my 2017 RPod 179. Can I use the Dexter riser for corresponding weight class? Lippert no longer makes one. Thanks

The DexterTorflex Lift Kit - Single Axle - 2-5/8" Lift # K71-707-01 has 8 inch on center holes, so if your Lippert 3500 torsion axle has the same spacing, it will be compatible.
