Locations for tire jack on 2009 RX 350 ?
I have the 2009 RX 350.
When I read the owner's manual on how to change a flat tire, the manual says to put the Lexus-supplied jack at a point below each door to lift the car.
In a section for rotating tires, the manual says there are 2 places for to put the jack. One is at the rear of the car to lift the 2 rear tires and the other is a the front, under the engine bay, to lift the 2 front tires. Both of these points are on the centerline of the car.
Apparently, these 2 jack points are for non-Lexus jack.
Do I understand the manual correctly ?

There are various locations for lifting the RX and they depend on the type of Jack. The one supplied with the RX for emergency/road_side swapping with the spare, has four locations [each on the side near the wheels] .... typically marked as a set of notches in the metal seam.
The supplied jack does not lend itself well for rotation as you lift one wheel at a time with it. One can conceivably use a temp (spare) to make the rotation happen ... reminds me of the old riddle of lion, sheep and hay that need to be taken across a river

Currently, I have a couple of 2 1/2 ton jacks that I use to rotate tires on my Sienna mini van.
Can the 2 1/2 ton jack safely lift one end of the RX350 ?
If you were to rotate the tires on the RX350 by swapping front tires and rear tires, how would you do it ?
