Hes tell you the truth. The radiator support itself is not very strong and can crumple under the cars weight. You are better off jacking directly from the frame rails or from the jacking points on the side of the car.

Youd be find to jack there just to get some weight off the car to get up higher so you could get a jack in a real jacking spot. But id never pick a car up off the ground that way.
