    I read that post, I was pleased to see the problem was not that severe.

    I'm likely to cheat and use a trolley jack.

    That's what we used in Alice Springs and it's the smart way to do it.

    By yourself on the side of the road is not recommended.

    New shoes :)

    The guy at the tyre place wasn't game to try and squeeze 265/70 r16 on the rear door mount... Another project to do.

    Depends on tyre. I managed to make 265/70/17 Scorpion work but it was an inteference fit on the rear bar....so 75 is out without a bracket reversal

    Cheers

    Don't flip and drill - you'll end up with cracked studs... extra hinge wear and worse rear vision.

    Drill 6 holes and raise the carrier.

    Cant see how redrilling would be any different to what i have done with 265/75/16
    With what tyre size do you say does this
    Maybe mine is the exception with 3 years and plenty of off road trips mine is fine

    No, your not the exception, I would have done at least 10 of them like that , none of them spend all their time on the bitumen and no cracks ( not sure how you crack a stud ) no extra hinge wear over the years on the 6 or so that I still see
