The Toyota Supra jack points for the GR Supra (A90, 2020 and newer) are the circular indentation with a bolt at the front center, not the black plastic oil pan cover, and the black section of the rear differential, not the silver fins. Once the car is up, support it on jack stands at the plastic safety stand supports on the side skirts, which are marked with arrows.
Safety first: a jack is for lifting, not for holding. Never get under the car unless it is on properly rated jack stands on level, solid ground. Confirm every location in your owner’s manual, because wording and underbody layout can vary by model year.
Toyota Supra Jack Points: Front and Rear
| Location | Where it is | Caution |
|---|---|---|
| Front jack point | Circular indentation with a bolt, toward the middle of the front lip | Do not lift on the black plastic oil pan cover |
| Rear jack point | Black section of the rear differential | Do not lift on the silver fins; they can be crushed |
| Jack stand points | Plastic safety stand supports on each side skirt, marked with arrows | Use adapters; the plastic housing can warp if misused |
| Side sills / rockers | Not a general lifting point | Lifting here can crush underbody panels |
This layout is described in owner guides and by tool makers for the 2020 and newer GR Supra. Check the diagram in your Toyota owner’s manual to confirm it for your car. If you have an aftermarket body kit, splitter or underbody tray, the clearance and the safe points may differ.
Tools You’ll Need
- Low-profile floor jack: the car is low, so a standard jack may not fit under the front. See our low-profile floor jack roundup.
- Jack pad adapter for a floor jack: protects the factory jack points. Do not use a floor jack adapter on a jack stand.
- Jack stands rated for the car’s weight: see the jack stand roundup and check the rating against the Supra curb weight.
- Jack stand adapters: sized to fit the hollow section of the plastic support housing.
- Wheel chocks: to stop the end you are not lifting from rolling.
- 2×4 blocks or ramps (optional): to add clearance under the front.
- Torque wrench: for reinstalling wheels.
How to Jack Up a Supra Step by Step
- Park on level, solid ground. Use concrete or asphalt, not gravel, dirt or a slope. Apply the parking brake and follow your manual for gear or park selection.
- Chock the wheels at the end you are not lifting.
- Start with the front. Guides recommend lifting the front first because the rear has more clearance. Lower the jack fully, slide it under, and line the jack pad up with the front jack point.
- Raise slowly. Use short pumps while the car is low and watch that the pad stays seated on the jack point and off the oil pan cover.
- Place jack stands. Set a stand with an adapter under each plastic safety stand support, using the arrow markers on the side skirts.
- Lower onto the stands. Let the car settle slowly, and keep the jack lightly in place as a backup if you can.
- Test stability. Gently push on the car at the corners before you work. If anything shifts, lift and reset the stands.
- Repeat for the rear using the black section of the differential, with the same stand placement.
- Lower the car by lifting it off the stands slightly, removing them, and lowering the jack slowly.
If you remove wheels, retighten the lug nuts in a star pattern and finish with a torque wrench. A third-party wheel reference lists 103 ft-lb (about 140 N·m) for the A90, but use the figure in your owner’s manual, especially with aftermarket wheels. Re-check the torque after a short drive.
Common Jacking Mistakes
| Mistake | Risk | Do this instead |
|---|---|---|
| Lifting on the rear differential fins | Crushed fins and repair cost | Use the black section of the differential |
| Lifting on the oil pan cover | Damaged cover and underbody | Use the circular indentation with the bolt |
| Stands placed on the wrong spot | Cracked plastic housings or an unstable car | Use the marked safety stand supports with adapters |
| Working under the car on the jack only | Serious injury if the jack fails | Always use rated jack stands |
| Jacking on a slope or soft ground | Car can slip or stands can sink | Use flat, hard ground |
Safety Checklist
- Never rely on a floor jack alone to hold the car.
- Keep your body out from under the car until the stands are placed and tested.
- Use stands rated above the car’s weight, and do not use damaged or bent stands.
- Keep people and pets clear while lifting and lowering.
- Do not start the engine or put the car in gear while it is up.
- If anything looks wrong, lower the car and start again.
After You Lower the Car
Take a quick look at the jack points, the oil pan cover and the plastic stand supports for cracks or crushed areas, and check the ground under the car for new fluid drips. Replace worn jack pads or adapters. If you are heading into brake or wheel work, see our guides on replacing brake pads and rotors and when to rotate tires.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you jack up a Toyota Supra?
For the GR Supra (A90), guides commonly describe the front jack point as the circular indentation with a bolt on the front center, not the black plastic oil pan cover, and the rear jack point as the black section of the rear differential, not the silver fins. Confirm both in your owner’s manual before lifting.
Where do the jack stands go on a Supra?
Place jack stands under the plastic safety stand supports on the side skirts, which are marked with arrows. Use jack stand adapters that fit the hollow of the plastic housing so the load is spread and the plastic does not crack or warp.
Do I need a low-profile floor jack for a Supra?
In practice, yes. The car sits low, so a low-profile floor jack makes it much easier to reach the front jack point, and 2×4 blocks or ramps can add clearance. Always use a jack pad adapter meant for the car, and never work under the car supported by the jack alone.
Can I lift the Supra by the side sills?
No, not unless your owner’s manual shows a lifting point there. Lifting on the sills or rocker area can crush underbody panels and bodywork. Use the front and rear jack points, then support the car on stands at the marked safety stand supports.
What is the lug nut torque for a GR Supra?
Third-party wheel references list 103 ft-lb (about 140 N·m) for the A90, tightened in a star pattern. Check your owner’s manual, especially with aftermarket wheels, and re-check the torque after a short drive.
Is it safe to lift a Supra on the rear differential?
It is the commonly used rear lift location, as long as you jack on the black section and avoid the silver fins, which can be crushed. Use a proper jack pad adapter, lift slowly, and move the car onto stands before you do any work underneath it.
Bottom Line
Use the front indentation and the black differential section to lift, stands at the arrow-marked safety supports to hold, and your owner’s manual to confirm. Go slowly and never skip the stands.
