Using SFC's as jack points

Alot of people say that SFCs make for good jack points, but that it also depends on the strength of your SFC. I've got the new Spohn tubular SFCs, are these ok to be used as jack points?

I have Comp. Eng. sfcs and they work great. I even bought one of the new smaller sizzor jacks and eliminted the dinosaur that was there before. Takes up less space, weighs less, and works better. Dont know about yours, I just wanted to brag a little about mine. By the way, I love the Comp.Eng. connectors.

i use my square tube spohn SFCs as a jack point all the time, i don't see any reason why not, your stock jack point is on the frame rails, and the SFC's are welded to those frame rails. so i wouldn't worry about it.
