    I may lose my man card for this but I’m using the cylinder jack that comes with the Tacoma, I have a 2019 Sr and need to raise the front and the back to put the wheel center back on the rims. Not sure where to put the jack and want to be safe. Thanks!

    Maybe we can trade man cards, whats a wheel center?

    If you need to lift a wheel I, personally, would suggest under the axle on one side at a time for the rear, and under the frame near the Lower control arm mounts on the front.
    If you have room I suggest as much dimensional wood blocking as you can fit under the jack on either end, but especially the front so you can get max lift to help with suspension droop. Stable and wide being key to blocking, doesn't have to be wood.

    One wheel front - I prefer the intersection of the frame rail and the transmission diagonal brace. Options vary. Set brake and chock the rears.

    One wheel rear - axle tube as close to the spring bolts as possible. Set brake and chock the fronts.

    Both wheels front - there's a protrusion between oil pan and filter. Set the brake, chock the rears, and place stands where I described the one-wheel.

    Both wheels rear, use the differential pumpkin . Chock the hell out of the fronts or have the front on stands first. Put additional stands on rear axle at the spring bolts.
