Before removing the doors, I drill a 1/4 inch hole through the door and hinge. Then when reinstalling the door, line up the 1/4 inch hole, slide a bolt in and then tighten your door bolts. This will get your door very close to where it was. You may still need to fine tune it a bit but should be close to where it was
Yup. Ordered both. I was able to get he SoftSeal around the hing area without a problem so I'll just leave the doors on. My truck is finished so don't want to take a chance on damaging something or scratching the paint. Thanks man. Quickest I can have them delivered through Amazon is May 7. What a bumper.
