Jack Issues with Lexus 06 GS 430. 1) Has anyone used the scissor jack that comes with the car or another?

Toyota? Here are my observations: I do not like that thing at all. The scissor jack on my GS 430 with the U grove does not even come in contact with the pinch weld. It meets the side molding/running board (Rocker Panels) and on the other side it hits the soft bonding material. I can see that damaging both sides until the jack makes contact with the pinch weld. Anyone see smashing or denting using this jack? Especially on the front which it will hit the running board/molding Rocker Panels?2)Using a floor jack: one with a small cup.Has anyone seen a pinch weld fail or fold over? Lexus’ pinch weld sure look flimsy compared to other cars I have owned. Anyone use lift blocks or hockey pucks between the jack and the pinch weld? I stopped by Discount Tire and asked them how they would lift the car ; they would use the pinch weld and block pads. That would put the entire load on the pinch weld. were do you get those pads? Is it safe to use the floor jack directly on the PW? Tha
