None of my jacks lift up my 3rd gen enough to change the wheel, is there a place to lift T4R with Hi-Lift Steel Jack ?

Don't buy a hi lift jack. Buy this instead (or similar) ....... https://www.amazon.com/Powerzone-380044-Aluminum-Steel-Garage/dp/B003UM7B98/

$150 lightweight hybrid floor jack. Unless you are in the jungle this will be far easier to use and much much safer for your truck and your life.

I agree with Brian. The hi lift isn't designed to be used "as a regular jack to work on a vehicle". It's not safe. It's design to be used for off road emergency. But I would never use a hi lift jack to jack up my 4runner and get under it. Only to change tires on side of the road, or few other things.

A Hi-Lift would be pretty much useless on plastic bumpers and side steps.

If your floor jack isn't tall enough to lift the frame of the truck you can lay a piece of 2x4 wood on the jack pad to gain some lift. You can also lift under a lower spot, like the rear diff or the front lower control arm.

Remember to support the vehicle safely with jack stands before attempting any repairs.

yes there is a way, you will need to buy the hi lift straps that hook onto your wheel, jack up the wheel and put a jack stand underneath your frame... remove the hi lift and change your wheel

I won't go under unless all wheels are chocked and it's sitting on firm blocks of wood in multiple locations.

That's how I roll too. And I'd avoid the hi lift as much as possible, except for off road emergency.. and even still, not really hot about it.

I bought Powerbuilt 6ton unijack. No issues lifting the rear. For front wheels I use two wodden blocks.

Looks like this Powerbuilt 6000 Lb UniJack is what I'm looking for. Thanks.
