Are you on the rocker?

No they won't let me

Stock jack doesn't lift by the rail itself, there is a cutout where the rail goes and it uses the whole area around the pinch rail. I usually find something more beefy to lift it by, there is a large metal plate with a large bolt a bit deeper in the front, same thing should go for the back. Would have to fab something up as I haven't found anything good.

Revisiting this and making sure it's ok to use a hydraulic floor jack with a 4" pad at the factory pinch welds or would it be better with that type jack at some other location? Or using one of these lifts.

I have a quickjack too.  Will be testing it on the SHO this weekend. 

Pinchwelds are great for lifting cars.  If you're really worried, just get a slotted jack pad like this https://www.amazon.com/DEDC-Universal-Slotted-Rubber-Medium/dp/B01MA232WY/ref=pd_lpo_263_bs_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=H73K3HBRXJEBMANHE4HB or find an old hockey puck and cut a slot in it.

find an old hockey puck and cut a slot in it.

I went this route with my XSport. First time I tried jacking it up, I went to put the jack stand under the pinch weld, and it sliced right through the hockey puck on the jack. It happened over several seconds. Just long enough to make me wonder "is the car dropping??" At first, I thought I was bending the pinch weld. As I was crapping my pants, I quickly let the jack down and realized my puck was now in two pieces. :/

The remaining 4 slotted pucks went straight in the trash.

Half-fast did you try out the quick jack? If so how did it work?

I did! 

I have the 5500lb model and the max span is shorter than the space between the two lift pads. I got it to work, but I wasn't happy. I'll see if there's a better solution next time.

WRT the lift in general, it's the best money I've ever spent. I just need to solve the long-a$$-car problem
