Thank you very much sir!
One last question, if it's not too much trouble.
What do you mean by "strengthen the cross bay". I didn't get that. |

This is my front Tow Bar ..... its a US receiver. I have 'plug-in' bar that gives me a 50mm ball or a winch plate bracket.

Thanks for the info! It's very useful.
One last question: why didn't you go for 245 70 17? I understand that size would also be within the accepted 2.5% and it would give a height lift. |

Sorry Busman
I've been on hollybobs.
I did try to put 25mm spacers on before fitting the new BfG's.
Spacers were no good ( long story) so I took a chance and fitted tyres without anyway.
