Not a good idea, see my post #135.
Is there a better way than jacking up your car to work under it?

They make pinch weld blocks

I got those in the kit
Years ago my older brother used to pull his car up on the curb on one side to change the oil. Get the car leaning toward the oil plug side. Probably get arrested for that today.
I'd like to have a pair of higher ramps with long risers that could be removed once on the platform. Have to rig up blocks for low cars on the usual metal ramps I have.

Check the slot depth on your blocks, then check the pinch weld depth on your car. Look closely at the insides of the pinch welds - any lines, cables, etc? These 2nd gen's are just not made to lift at the pinch welds.
+1 Don't pick up a 2nd gen by pinch welds/edges. They don't really have pinch weld
I pick mine up at the frame and frame rails.

when i pulled my sub frame i lifted the car by the pinch welds. no issues.
Less weight is different.
My pinch welds were crushed from the last person who owned it because they tried jacking it up from there
that was not a fun thing to fix
These cars have front frames, torque boxes, and a solid rear axels, all easy to get to, just use those.

Concur, I use this with my lift for my builds. Very stable
