    I have a 2019 Toyota Tundra Platinum edition crew cab. I will be installing a lift in my shop and was wondering what the center of gravity was for the tundra. I'm planning on installing the lift 15' away from the front wall and was wondering where that will put the grill (front end) of the truck. I would like to put a tool box between the front wall and the truck but don't know if i will have enough room.
    Thanks in advance!

    OK, I'm trying very hard to decipher what you are asking us. After careful re-reading of your query, it sounds like you are asking two different questions:
    1) you are installing a "lift" (ie. the type found at a repair shop which lifts the vehicle in the air so that you can access the underside and for some uknown reason, you wish to know the Tunedra's center of gravity. I'm not sure how the Tundra's center of gravity would be relevant to what you are wishing to do.
    2) your soon-to-be-installed shop vehicle lift will be 15 feet away from the "front wall" (I am assuming that you mean the back wall of your garage, opposite the garage door, right?) and you want to know about the length of your Tundra and how much room you will have between said Tundra and the back wall as you wish to place a tool box in between? Am I correct? The answer is, that would be IMPOSSIBLE to tell you because you gave us almost no relevant data. So, the "lift" will be 15' away from the "front wall"; 15' from the wall to the closest tip of the of the lift? 15' from the center of the lift? And then, how big is the lift relative to the size of the Tundra??? How could we possibly be able to answer your questions? They make almost no sense!?!?

    Lift at the factory recommended lift points in the owners manual, support the rear diff with a high reach jack stand for additional safety
