The front of the door seems flush with the body. The door is about an 1/8" low with matching the body lines to the door. the amount that the door is not flush is at least a 1/4".
How can I bring in the lower corner in to be flush with the body??
thanks,

You need to start with lining up the beltline of the door with the belt line of the body.
These doors are slightly wedge shaped. Moving them up and down will make a significant change in how they fit and how they latch.
Start with lining up the beltlines.
When you say "not flush", are you talking about the door edge protruding outboard of the cab? If so, I know of ways to fix that. Just let me know if that is what is going on.
