Over the years I've heard about the glass tops cracking due to the body flex. Not sure if that's true but not willing to find you.

Okay, cool. Maybe another mini Z gathering. I think I'll try the Dymag wheels this time.

What we always do is use two floor jacks, either on the same side or the same end. Seems to minimize the stress.
