CWMOSER Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 I'm new with LX470's. Any special information I need to jack up this SUV and put on Jack Stands?
1990LS400 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 There should be jack points on the vehicle underneath near the center at both ends to use a floor jack on. You might need a high lift floor jack to raise the vehicle high enough. Jack stands compatible with pinch welds will keep from bending them. I don't have an LX but these concepts have applied to all the Toyota and Lexus vehicles I've put on jack stands. I don't like the idea of raising a vehicle from one side at time with a jack like the ones that come with vehicles for changing tires - way too scary for me. I always jack from the center with a floor jack when putting a vehicle on jack stands. Be sure to use wheel chocks to keep the vehicle from rolling!!! I use four big stinky hard rubber cheap chocks from Harbor Freight.
