Aftermarket side rails

Good day all, I've come across a slight issue and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I've gone and fitted some aftermarket side rails,however not being oem means their fitting kit bolts into the chassis rather than the mounting areas behind the skirting. The problem is when you go to jack the car up you can't as the jack points are now being used Censored

I'm looking for suggestions on what to do about this. Can you just buy a oem fitting kit and weld them in to the bars in the right place or manufacture from scratch? In which case I would need the correct measurements, steel thickness etc.

Any thoughts welcome.

Jacking points are the small circular hoes in the chassis rails, are you saying the side bars occupy these?

TBH I jack on the lower wishbone for wheel changes anyway Thumbs Up Altox GSM FBH controller thread

If they are the Bearmach type you can fit them without jacking it up

Pics show how they are bolted into the chassis jack points.
