Problem installing Lift pads

Picked up my '23 ZL1 a couple of weeks ago and ordered some lift pads from zl1 addons. Got 3 installed no problem... The passenger front one though...
One side of the pinch weld is about 1/4 higher than the other, so the top of the lift pad doesn't touch both sides... Should I be concerned lifting from that one?

I have had that on both driver and passenger side, and others have reported it too. At the end of the day, it doesn't seem to make a big impact. The lift pad will twist slightly when under load stress (the first time), but not enough to twist the pinch welds and not any worse over time.

You're fine! The important part is that they're still providing a solid surface between the jack and the tip of the weld, and still holds the weld straight. The weld can handle the weight otherwise.
