Jacking sub frame connectors

Ok, stupid question. I have the SLP diamond weld in sub frame connectors installed. When I wanna put the car on jack stands there is not a lot of room for the jack stand once the floor jack is under. My question is: Can I jack the car up under the sub frame connector, resting the car on a jack stand right where the connectors are welded without screwing the SFC up?

You'll be fine, it's a good idea to jack on that attachment point... probably one of the strongest points of the car once the SFCs are welded in...

That's where I put my jackstands while working on the supercharger. Had no problems. Even the door worked perfectly, and everybody knows than without SFCs when jacking the car it binds those doors. Very strong.
