While I don't have any way of knowing specifically what lift kit your 2020 R-Pod 196 needs because it depends on both the axle capacity and manufacturer, based on some research it looks like you have a single torsion axle. From what I can find it is likely you have a 4,400 lb axle, and so long as that is a Dexter Torflex #11 axle (you should be able to find this info directly on the axle), you will need the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-724-02.

The # K71-724-02 is a tandem axle lift kit and your R-Pod is a single axle, but they do not make single axle lift kits for the #11 Torflex for some reason.
