Would this work ok for the Z? I'm thinking of getting some covers just in case, but wanted to see how many people just go without them and if they have any issues with the rails bending?

The pinch rails will bend if you put weight directly on them. I've seen this from cars that get lifted by mechanics that don't care. Most jack stand supports have a Y shape to them. I just center the pinch rail in the Y so its not resting on anything. The weight rests on the Y supports on either side of the pinch rail.
