    On my previous car, I got away with a 2Ton jack. But even for a stock 4Runner, the floor jack needs to be higher. I ended up getting a H/F 3Ton rapid pump 19 3/4” height floor jack. Very important video! Always safety first.

    • @PhoRunner
      @PhoRunner  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      2ton should be ok if you're lifting just 1 side. Maybe not the front / back (half the weight). Should technically be rated for it but a lot more is better than less.

  • @gsmacka96
    @gsmacka96 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Thanks for the informational video. About to replace pads and rotors on my 4runner and was wondering what would be the best place to use the Jack at. The frame seems like it’s really far away from the control arm and brakes themselves but I do think that’s the best place to lift it. I was curious about the control arm but it does look sketchy to lift from there.

    • @PhoRunner
      @PhoRunner  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Should be ok. I do it sometimes but make sure to put the jack under the frame

    I have a 4runner as well. When you say it's safe to jack up the front lower control arm, how come it wasn't in the service manual jack points?
