How To Jack-Up Telluride With Factory Running Boards Attached?

[Chopstick]

Hi All,

I have a Telluride SX with the factory running boards.

I need to lift the driver's side up to do maintenance on the wheels.
According to the manual, to lift the front wheel, you are supposed to place the jack at the pinch point by the front door.
Unfortunately, the front pinch point is blocked by the mounting bracket for the running board.





I've looked up "jack pads" and none of them that I've found are tall enough to clear the distance between the pinch point and the bottom of the running board bracket.

Has anyone with factory running boards found a way around this?
How am I supposed to lift the front wheel with the front pinch point blocked?

Thank you.

Just made another post about the same issue then ran into this. Has anyone figured out a safe way to jack the car or place stands?
