Hilarious that this thread exists. I just tried jacking my 99 with the bottle jack from that same point with the skid off and I also got concerned about a dent in that same spot. There is definitely a dent. I just have no idea if it was there before. But I can say for certain that it was not the result of an accident or off-roading. I didn’t get my rig all the way off the ground though so the full weight wasn’t on it.

This bothered me a bunch at first thinking I messed it up. But something tells me if lifting without the skid in place could really damage the cross member there would be a note about that in the manual.
 
Just use a piece of wood. Small section of 4x4.
