What's the weight that beam can support, using the contact points for the jack and the two car jack points? If you haven't done this math, you're crazy. I'm not an engineer, but I've written software for guys who need to calculate loads like this. If you're not calculating this, that "1/4 bend" could be the last thing you see before the whole thing comes crashing down. If you have done the calcs, maybe you can share with the group for peace of mind when lifting vehicles with different weights and spans between jack points.
