Since your 2013 Riverside Whitewater Retro 155 has a Lippert 3,500 lb. axle the correct lift kit will depend on the axle style that you have, I tried locating that with your serial number but was unable to locate it. I have listed the 3 options below so you can check what you have and get the right one.

The Axle Riser Kit # LC382741 is for the square, 3,500-lb axles only

The Axle Riser Kit # LC270682 is for the diamond, 3,500-lb axles only

The Lippert Components Standard Axle Lift Kit # LC425750 is for standard leaf-spring single axles
