Are 2" risers now standard

I'm coming back to a Suites after trying out a motorhome for a few years.

I was told by a dealer that the 2" riser over the axles is now being added to all new Suites. Anyone order one recently that can verify this?

From what I have heard this is true.

I think it is now. Hopefully they also added it where the landing gear is, giving you as much stroke as possible.

Just use some of these "SUPER NICE" blocks.

Our 2019 trailer was ordered 11/2017 and the risers were an extra cost item.

By the time our trailer was built around March 2018 the risers were becoming standard at a higher base vehicle price. But I don't know if that is the same for the Full House which does not have IS as standard.

Just like the MORRyde IS was an 8k option when I ordered mine and now it is standard. Unless you have a tor hauler. And I would bet they raised the base price. The more streamlined they can make production the better and easier it is to build them.

Sone need 3. Sad that DRV does not hook up the big three every year with the new year models to see what changes need to be done. Very little effort in R&D to make sure people get the set up correct. A correct set up will have less wear and tear on the rig. You know, looking out for there customers.

OP here. Thanks for responding y'all. I did call DRV and was told that the risers are standard now. I bought a new RAM and hopefully will have enough clearance.

Hard to do since everyone has a different pin weight. I have 6k pin and my truck sets the same height loaded or unloaded with the rear factory air. But the same truck without the rear air will set at a different height.

You get the rear air ride? It also depends on hitch and pin box.

I highly advise the B&W puck hitch.

No air ride leveling. I will be getting a Trailer Saver air hitch. I had one with my last Suites and it rode very well.
