According to my research, your 2010 Forest River R-Pod M-173 travel trailer came with Dexter Torflex axles. Therefore, in order to lift the trailer you would need to use one of the following depending on which axle you have. If you have a #9 (2,000 lb) axle then you will want to use part # K71-723-01 but if you have a #10 (2,300 lb - 4,000 lb) axle then you will want to use part # K71-707-01.
Both of these kits will offer a 2-5/8" lift. They are super easy to install as all you will need to do is unbolt the axle for each side, install the spacers and bolt the axle back into place with the provided hardware. Please note that neither of these kits can be installed if you already have 3" profile brackets.
If you take a look at the white tag placed on the centerline of the axle, that should tell you whether or not you have a #9 or #10 axle. I have attached a review video on both kits for you as well.
