Easy Change Riser System Kit

The Easy Change Riser System allows you to customize the saddle panel for your optimal clearance and balance. The risers fit in a velcro pocket in between the tree and the cushion panel and for up to 16mm of lift. This system is convenient, quick, and reversible.

• Up to 16 mm of lift
• Four different kinds of risers
• Reversible
• Three different sets
• Quick installation

There are four different variations of risers (Front, Center Rear, and Rear Tapered). The front risers come in Pony size (4 or 8 mm) or standard size (4, 8, 12, or 16 mm). The centerpieces come in only 4 and 8 mm. The rear come in Pony size (4 or 8 mm) or standard (4, 8, 12, or 16 mm). The rear tapered riser comes in only one standard size.

There are three different packs that these risers come in. The first is the Standard pack which includes 4 front risers  (4, 8, 12, 16 mm), 2 center risers (4 and 8 mm), and 4 rear risers (4, 8, 12, 16 mm). Then there is the Standard Starter pack which has 2 front, center, and rear risers (all 4 and 8 mm). Finally, there is the Pony/Jump Pack which has 2 pony sized front, center, and back risers. This pack is the only one which fits pony and jump saddles.

We recommend purchasing a set of the risers but if a specific piece is needed it can be ordered individually. When you purchase a set you are receiving a $17 piece for only $10. Each set comes with an instruction manual and an Easy Change locating tool necessary for internal adjustments.

Installation
