I am calling it "dun" for the driver side (picture enclosed)... this is as far as I want to go with the hinge hack of elongating the spring travel holes "in the closed position/direction". I know I did not take the time to align the beltline, but I have done it many times and I know I can do it right. I feel I can achieve complete closure of the door if I think I need to via external leverage (muscle and wood block for example) rather than tweeking the hinge spring holes. I also think that with a fully loaded door, the existing spring tension will not even be a factor.
Now on to the passenger side!
I have a need to make the passenger side door come out at the beltline (pictures when I next mount the door onto the cab) to meet the beltline of the cab. I am looking for advice in making that happen.
This is my observation: The hinge plate area at the pillar gives you "up and down" flexibility. The hinge holes at the door give you horizontal flexibility and some "tilt" flexibility.
So what actions give you the flexibility to make the door positioned more outward at the top hinge and subsequently, more inward at the rear, bottom of the door?
