This is still not a good idea at all, unless your rubber pad has a slot in it to allow the rail to slide in between the pad. Putting all that pressure on a thin piece of sheet metal over and over again over time WILL bend and warp it eventually. Trust me I've seen it happen on Evo's over and over again. Its not pretty. This is the incorrect way of jacking.

Jack the front end up by the front cross member. That is the front OEM factory jacking point. If you must jack from the sides there is a flat spot near the front control arms on either side just inward from the sheet metal side rails. You will see that there is a hole punched out through the unibody in this location. ALWAYS use a wooden block, rubber pad, hockey puck, etc.

How-to thread FTW

There's a lot of discussion there on the best/right way to do this, and pix. In short, use the front crossmember & rear diff. I also like the suspension pick-up points.
