That is proof of a very stiff frame. No it will not hurt the frame by lifting at one point. The stiffer the frame, the better the suspension does it's job. No wonder these cars handle like they're on rails.

The only other car where I came close to lifting the whole side from one lift point was my previous '03 C5 Corvette but only after I stiffened up the suspension and swaybars. That car was supposed to have an extremely stiff frame for the time. No comparison to my '16 Z though.
