IMO don't use the pinch
If need to use the pinch, use a soft block
My favorite method is soft block of wood to frame rail (for jack and stands)
never directly put jack to rail without a soft intermediate
Its really hard to find these mint pinch welds, cosmetic ofc but still I Like to see it
Now iirc the FSM says do not jack up by the frame rail. But I am not comfortable doing any other way. The tow hook is scary because of the distance (force*length) of the lever involved (lever arm very long = lots of torque on the chassis) especially if you have a heavy V8 engine instead of the usual. The center engine holder thing "subframe support"? Whatever its called actually bent a little bit when I tried using that so forget it. I still use the frame rails. Just make sure a nice block of wood soft to protect it I guess.
