For future reference, is that an unsafe place to put the stands?

Also, the weld seems to get crushed flat where the jack stands are placed. Do you think that area would be more susceptible to rust in the future?

Thanks for any input! I'm just attempting to slowly build up some knowledge about my car without destroying it or myself in the process...

I guess you don't know jack, lol
