Wow - that looks really nice Is that on standard suspension? Also, I don’t suppose you have any ‘direct’ side on photographs do you?
Yes Standard suspension.
T30 about 120kg shy of full payload. Hence the lowered look in the back, I’m not sure whether to bring the back up to meet it or lower the front and space the back springs up
 
Bring up the rear. If it's sat like that because it's loaded I would opt for more rear support and look at uprated springs.
 
It's a very tight fit but deflated it goes in.
Actually, the bracket holding the wheel has two positions - closer to the front of the van - and by setting it to the one making the bracket hang lower allows having the bigger spare fitted without deflating it. At least it has worked for me this way.

For some wheel and tyre combinations, that isn't enough!!

It's on the lower setting, theres no way you would get it in on the high setting. I tried inflated and it's just too tight, but that doesn't bother me as I can pump it up on the side of the road. I'm just happy to have a full size spare in 235 65 17 rather than a limp home 16"
 
California on standard suspension with Tuff Torque ET40 with Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain 235/65 although would like to fit them on OEM ARACAJU OEM ET 55. Will that work without rubbing?

How do you change the position?

I could not get the Pin Out - the one end is the short end L and the other has a crimp

I tried and failed to fit a 17" when I changed to my Summer Wheels from the 16" Winter (10mm wider) and could only just get the front bolts to catch - so took off the 17" and Put back the 16"spare...

Is there a trick that I am missing to pull out the pivot pin?

THANKS
