I could really use some advise on how to align my door hinges. I'm using Duff lift off hinges and am having a hard time getting things to line up.
Can anyone shoot me in the right direction?

im looking for the same info. my door posts are fine, but the alignment is a little off on the passenger side. the top of the back side of the door is hitting the hard top and rubbing. i cant seem to figure out the door hinge adjustments to fix the problem. any info would be helpful!

I used this process for my wildchild hinges. Grease the hinges well as the pins will be unaligned initially. Start your door installation high and loosen the hinges one at a time and allow your door to fall into proper alignment. Be extra carefull when lifting the door because when doing so, it can pop off unexpectedly.

I just installed BCB's lift off hinges. Mine came with shims to help with adjusting the doors in and out. That with trial and error, I was able to get mine to line up pretty good. Next time I'll call a buddy to help or use the floor jack, my back was a mess for about a week ;D
