    Has anyone put a 2nd gen 4Runner on jackstands to remove all 4 wheels? Where are the best lifting points for the front and rear and where's the best placement for the jackstands? I want to do this safely, so if you have any tips on putting the 2nd gen (or probably 3rd gen as well, as I imagine its similar) on jackstands, I'd appreciate it!

    Do you want to put the rear axle on 2 stands then the front lower control arms or do you want the suspensions in full droop by putting frame high enough?

    I don't think it would matter, I'd like to just take off all 4 tires eventually so I can restore the stock rims

    If you lift the axle sides you can place stands so the tires are a couple inches off the ground.
    If you raise from Toyota jack points you need to raise very high because of droop.
