What do you recommend for changing tyres?

Oversize tyres on 4x4? I have a hydraulic bottle jack with a good solid lump of timber to place under the jack , Otherwise I use my hi lift off front or rear bar work, and I use a length of chain around the chassis to the axle to stop the suspension drooping. otherwise I run out of jack and the tyre can still be on the ground. Another option with the hi lift is a wheel adapter which you can use to lift the wheel off the ground then place an axle stand or block under the axle, swap the wheel over then use the hi lift and reverse the operation.
