    I am doing the AAL part of my lift today and I need to know where to place my jack stands in the rear, the directions ask for both wheels to be airborne so ill be using 2 jack stands....I have a base reg cab tacoma 07... so do i put the jack stands forward of the rear suspension? if so where, i just feel like if they are there the truck will tip backward or something.

    I don't know what your frame looks like, but I placed them as far rearward as I could before the frame turned up. I stood on my rear bumper to make sure that it wouldn't tip backwards lol

    Yea the weight of the engine and cab will not let it teeter. Place the jackstands just ing front of the leaf spring hangers

    (I realize you have a regular cab, just using this pic for placement reference)
