    Will these work for a Tacoma? It's stock, but I do plan in the future to do a 2.5inch lift

    I’d measure your height now. Add your expected lift. Be sure 16” is enough.

    I would go for the 6 ton version for extra height.

    3 ton will work for the rear but not for the front. You will need 6 ton for the front. The 3 ton is too short for the front.

    Where are you putting 3 tons on the front that they’re tall enough to reach? Those only work for me on axle tubes.

    I have blocked up under my Jack Stands before to get the height I need, but only because I didn't have the larger stands.
    Now I have both.
