Shouldn't matter what shocks you have then.

Quite true,

Brain fade, I was thinking of the hi-lift. Sometimes the simexes will pop a bead in very awkward spots, & the hi-lift almost runs out of travel. And bends. Always managed to reseat them so far though.

Did your bottle jack come with the Defender or is it an aftermarket one? Also is it a single or double lift unit? I would be surprised if a double lift jack wouldn't be OK (even with 35's) when used under the axle housing as they have quite a lift.

The jack that was in my previous RR also spilt its guts and didn't work when I needed it. :(

Looked at some Hydraulic jacks in Mahlz today, 6 tonne @ $44 odd, all I need to do is weld a pin on top of the screw extension and I can replace that POS they supply with the D3.

I've had a 4 tonner bought in my series 3 days (When Noah built the Ark) and that just keeps on going, only problem with them is the contact area.

Nope, just 3 beefy blokes to pull the tyre, & the air compressor. Seems to take forever, but the bead reseats at 18 psi.
