    Don't... buy thinner insulation :)

    I did it last year and it almost killed me. For 4inches extra you'll need a few 2 x 4s and put them perpendicular (basically across at a 90 degree angle) and screw them in.

    It's seriously easier just to replace the insulation with something thinner
  • thanks mate i thought it might be a problem.
