Straightening body...

I got rearended in the right rear a few years ago, and my tub seems to be pushed forward a bit at the rear door post. Any suggestions on a way to pull it out? I was thinking of disconnecting the body mount right there and trying to jack it up, I only need an eighth. Or so. The front of the door seems lined up, and the height seems about right, looks wrong in the first pic because the door isn't closed all the way, but you can see where it's hitting the post at the top...

take it to a body shop so you can get the fame checked out. if the rear clip is bent you need to get it pulled back down into place.

You have a bigger problem than you think you do. The top of the rear fender is not only pushed into the door its raised 1/2". The door is latched on to the rear post but it didn't move up as the rear fender moved up and into the door. The door stayed down and is probably still straight with the door sill. look carefully for separation with the body tub and the rear jamb and the rocker panel.
