Reinforce Jack points?

Considering welding in some reinforcements... I'll keep this thread updated, but school is busy this time of year so possibly over thanksgiving or winter break I can get something done - thanks!

Sorry but that's a rediculous idea....I've had my 2007 for nearly two years, and I use s 2-ton jack too...just make sure the split metal on the jack are worked over the body seam designated for jacking up the car. My seams are not bent, and are in perfect condition, and I rotate my tires every 5,000 miles...presently I have 44,000 miles, and still no issues. Welding on or near body parts can change the temperance of the metal, and remove the integrity that the factory wants for those parts....in addition, doing this could void your warranty....just be more careful about how you place the jack under the car and you too will have no worries....

I lif the car almost every weekend, tires, oil changes, positions for rear mount... Almost to the point where I can just about visualize the under body more than I can the actual body, I'll try and post some pictures of what I'm talking about -

As for the link, http://rmgsupply.com/products/RUBBER...1-1233-52.html



maybe not that exact item but something similar, the military base I used to go to had these rubber pads on the ends of their jacks sort of like these
