Is it okay to use WD40 to lubricate things? Thoughts ?

What kind of jacks? If they're hydraulic, I wouldn't put any kind of lubricant on the piston rods when extended. There's a risk of contaminating the system's hydraulc oil when they next retract.
Won't happen. The seal that prevents the hydraulic fluid from escaping, leaking out, will prevent, wipe, the piston rods when they retract. Also in a high salt air area I wouldn't use WD-40 but would keep a silicone base lube on the piston rods and any other polished or chromed exposed surfaces.
