One question: In step 4, when you said unbolt the hinges, I didn't realize there were shims there too. I thought they'd be on the cab side, but you're talking about the door side, right?

I need to do this to my truck too, but I've been putting it off for awhile now. Guess I figured it would take me longer than a weekend to do it, and I gotta drive my truck to work again on Monday.

Anyhoo, welcome from Murfreesboro, TN
I had shims on the door side of the hinge, but only on one of the hinges. It probably just depends on what they had to do the last time the door was aligned.

In terms of time, it took me about 4 hours for the first door and 3 hours for the second (after learnin). I doubt it could possibly take anyone with some mechanical experience longer than it did me.

Good luck
Mike
