We have determined from some previous owners of the same 2010 Forest River R-pod 172t that you've got a 3500-lbs Lippert torsion axle, so the correct lift kit for that axle is the Axle Riser Kit - Single Square Torsion Axle - 3-1/2" Lift # LC382741.

If you've got a diamond torsion axle then the correct lift kit for youtr R-Pod 172t is the Axle Riser Kit - Single Diamond Torsion Axle - 3-1/2" Lift # LC270682. This will only work with Lippert diamond torsion axles. If you've got a Dexter torsion axle then just let me know since that would use a different part.
