Default 99 Z28 - Lift points are bent.

I don't mean the fender tabs. I mean the actual area designed to lift the vehicle. They're bent out of shape mainly on the front, and the passenger side front is so mangled I can barely get the Scisscors jack on there. Is there any way these can be bent back to shape and maybe even strengthened without sacrificing the integrity of the structure?

Just dead curious, are you inferring that the damage here is irreparable?

When I did bolt on SFCs, those points straightened up for me. Not perfect, but much better.

Biggest thing is you have to be able to get the little insert with the nuts inside those areas. I used a long screwdriver to open them up enough on mine to slide in the inserts.
