Default jacking up just the entire front or rear

Hello

Is it possible to just jack up the entire front or just the rear.

Say I wanted to take both front wheels front wheels off or just the back wheels off.

Is there a single suitable jacking point in the front or in the rear that would get both wheels off the ground?


Thanks

Yes, i've done mine from both sides.

I put my jack on the front cross member, then dropped it onto two stands placed in the round things. Make sure you chock off the wheels.

Here is a thread with more info

Yeah, there's a "bump" in that front crossmember that's a jack point for the whole front end to come up.

Use rear differential as jacking point

Use the crossmember in this pic, not the differential itself. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...rjackpoint.jpg
