Floor jack

trying to lift up the front end of my 3rd gen double cab so the front suspension is at full droop. Will 2 1/2 ton jack work or will i need a bigger jack? Im trying to measure my center hub to fender at full droop for anyone whos wondering

 

2 1/2 ton is plenty. As you know never get under your truck without jack stands.

 

Oh yeah you are right duh i keep forgetting 1ton is 2000lbs. Todays not my day lol

 

Curious, is that round hump with the hole in it sticking out in center of the front skid plate a jacking point for floor jacks? Probably is just want to make sure.......

 

Yes

 

Yes, i just used it earlier today i wasnt to sure either as this is my first tacoma. But yeah thats where you jack it

 

It's plenty if you have the height. I couldn't find one that would lift high enough for a decent price so went with a 3 ton from Costco. Works great and lifts plenty.

 

^ that Costco one is great.

 

How much was that Costco jack and is it cast iron or aluminum?

 

It’s both aluminum and steel and it’s $100. Really good deal.

 

Headed there in couple weeks, hope they have it! We only have 1 Costco on the big island, Hawaii, 100 miles away......

One local Costco did not have it and one did, so total crap shoot. I needed some other online only items so I just ordered the jack online. It was nice to get it, jack stands, etc delivered basically right to my garage.

 

Tanks for the info guys, if our 1 Costco don't have it I'll find something else, shipping to Hawaii is rediculous! And this Costco don't have buy online pickup in store.....no stores have it!

 

My local Costco has the Arcan xl 3000. Claims max lift height of 19.72”. Is this enough to get the front wheels off the ground on an ‘18 OR, no lift?

 

Should be fine, I've used this which is advertised as 18-1/4 in and it lifted the front wheels off without issue. Managed to also get 12 ton stands under the front support points.

 

Thanks

 

Just to be clear #1 is a better spot than #2?

 

Both will be fine. If your jack's an itty bitty bottle jack it might bent the middle of 2 a bit, but it'll be fine.

Really you should get an SOS offroad concepts skid set and just jack off that.

 

I usually jack it up by the cross member, not by that nipple, but either should work.
