Getting ready to install rocker panels, I've been told to correctly do this the doors need to be aligned and adjusted but not for sure how to do this. Please help!

Do you still have the original rockers/cab corners in or are they cut out? Also, are the fenders on? I use those reference points to line it all up. Once you get the hinges where they work on the cab and door, use a sharp blade or a scribe and mark around the hinges so if you need to take the off and on again it will be easier to line up the next time!
