Thank you for providing all your axle information Orrie. I do see your 2014 Forest River R-Pod 177 does have the #10 Torflex which would use the Lift Kit # K71-707-01. This provides 2-5/8" of additional ground clearance. You are not going to notice any less stability with your R-Pod since you are only adding a lift block and not changing any of the suspension characteristics that much. Do remember by lifting the suspension this will affect your hitch height and also the steps getting into the camper.
