Hi-Lift Jack Mount on Truck?

I have a Hi-Lift jack and just bought a 25 Tacoma. Can you actually jack the truck up and change a tire with a Hi-Lift jack? Is the square box under the rear bumper in the enclosed pic a jack mount? I don't see any possible way to use a Hi-Lift on the front of the truck. I owned an FJ and there was no way to use it on that.

 

I’m not aware of any jack points for a hi-lift.

however….

Many would say the hi lift is too dangerous to use if you have other options, such as the factory jack.

I have a high lift and it won’t get used until I’m quagmired in mud and I can lift a side from the sliders* or lift one corner with a wheel adapter to pack ground.

*don’t own sliders yet.

 

Usually there aren’t any ways to use a high lift jack on modern vehicles. Aftermarket front and rear bumpers and rock sliders are where they are generally used

However, Toyota did put in those rear points specifically for a high lift or high lift style jack

Excuse the TikTok but it is a very clear example

 

You need sliders and an aftermarket front bumper to use as jack points.

Another option is a lift-mate that attaches to the tire but you'll need a jack stand if you are trying to remove the wheel.

 

They are dangerous and pretty much as useful as little rubber duckies on your dashboard. Sell it to a Jeeper and use the money for gas or beer.
