Can I safely jack up the rear of my 2017 Tacoma using a floor jack under the "pumpkin" with a piece of 2X4 as a buffer?

So you can put the jack stands under the rear axel, correct?

Before you do any work, right?

Since "safely" is a priority.

LOL. My main concern was causing any damage to the rear cover which I understand is prone to leaking.
