    I may have tweaked a few things...
    Not sure if you bought your tools yet but I just pulled the trigger on new jack stands and a floor jack so I could work on my 09 Prerunner. I went with the same 6 ton jacks since they have a bigger base than 3s and a nice max height of 23". For the floor jack I decided not to get that one cause the price just seemed too good, I feel like that jack is not going to perform well or last very long. Pep boys had a lot of stuff for 30% off so I got the jack stands at the same price as Amazon and a 3.5 ton jack that can lift 23" for $150. It seems to me the lift height of the jack is the limiting factor and this one can also lock and act as a stand. I'm hoping I can get all 4 wheels off the ground with this configuration, *which I will find out tommorrow.

    The Harbor Freight jack looks like a pretty solid choice though and they have a 25% off 1 item coupon for Labor Day.

    I also bought a Ryobi 1/2" cordless impact driver so I could do tire rotations and it works great.

    *Edit

    If you jack from the center of the transmission crossmember, it'll be enough to get both front tires off the ground. I have no trouble with that in my truck on a 3" lift and 33s.
