You may just be overthinking this and need new door bushings.

Well then how do you explain the door being off (body lines wise) when shut?

In this picture do you know for a FACT where the body line at front door to front fender lined up BEFORE you jacked it up? When the cab SAGGED at the rear mounts?

 

[Logan R]

Ah sorry, I should’ve clarified, I feel the door is very close to touching the fender (the vertical gap), I think the door is still lined up with the fender “body line” just wondered if I could make that gap a bit bigger, as it is pretty tight.

only shims I myself have used are for bring the fender in or out. But I was referring to what it looked like before jacking it up, if ya went high and tweaked the front mounts or collapsed the front area etc...

 

[Logan R]

Ok sounds good. I’ll check the front mounts tomorrow and report back after. Any other ideas to check while I’m here?

Look at top of fender bolts under hood, see if they slide to alighnment

Ok sounds good

think they are 13mm bolts, been long time I don't remember, also in the door area to fenders if ya open door etc... If you shim the fender? it is going to change your hood alighnment to fender gap also though...

Easy. You have more than 1 thing going on. The fact that your door sags and can be lifted is all the proof you need that the bushings are shot. Fix that and your door will close better or great.
