I have a question. I'm going to be doing a project this weekend painting brake calipers on the new tundra and i was just wonder what are the safest jack points to jack the truck up on and set onto jacks...Pictures would be GREAT! Thanks a lot! After the install this weekend, i'll definetly post up pictures on how it looks

In the rear - under the axle (per the manual).

Up front - check the manual, not sure exact spot.

do you have a picture like, of a spot on where to jack it up and set the jacks in place? I don't want to accidently do it in the wrong spot and damage the truck =\

I set my jacks under the frame where the cross member is. It's under the front seat floor board.

Thanks. As far as I know mine is the only one and another guy was working on doing the same thing. I did it all myself including welding up my own brackets. They are eurobeam driving lights and light up EVERYTHING.

Okay, I know that without a sway bar installed, we can jack up the backside using the rear axle areas. But with the sway bar installed, the bar is positioned real close to the axle so you it's real tight to use those areas the manual suggests. What I ended up doing was jacking up the section where the sway bar mounting plates are connected to the rear axle. Anyone did this or has a better suggestion? Oh yeah, I'm using a 3 ton lift.

I love the way they came out. I can do one better than pictures of the brackets. I can show you an entire DIY write-up of my mod.

But if you just want a picture, here you go. Made from 1/8" steel and it bolts onto the truck using factory holes.
