Default strong enough?

does anyone know if the rocker panels without rocksliders or anything are strong enough to use a hi-lift to jack up on or will it bend and damage them. thanks for the input

I would not use a highlift on anything except the bumpers. The side is not very strong.

You will crush them. I put 1/4" 3x3" angle iron on mine and they work fine with a hi lift now.
