Not a problem, I am a consultant by trade so I tend to make small problems
into huge problems. I'll try it with airing down temporarily and see how
it goes. I do need a more permanent solution. What do you think about the
hub spacer idea? Could that work? I know in the long run I'll change the
carrier when I do change the rear bumper.

Thanks for the attention and time in replying to my query.

They must have redesigned the carrier somehow because it not fitting on
mine (which a Renegade - Sahara in US/Canada).

It is part of the bigger picture, but I need to prioritise which upgrade
happens first. Rear bumper is after suspension and regearing and lockers.
At some stage, I know I will end up upgrading front and rear bumpers.

A hub spacer would probably work, but they tend to be rather pricey for the
type you would need and typically are sold in pairs. See:
http://www.spidertrax.com/drivetrain_whs.htm
The Teraflex extension unit Part#STEXT can be had for around $22-$25 USD.
