Door Shim

[B Dub]

I would like to get some shims to raise my sagging doors but every time I try to look them up it shows they are not for my truck (even though they might be). I don't want to take a chance and waste my time. Can anyone point me to the correct door shims for my 89 Silverado? I want the set that comes in different thicknesses. Thank you!

Usually people just replace the hinge pins and bushings. I did it with the Dorman parts and I can say 100% avoid them. I had to sand them down to even get them to fit and even after all that they didn't fully fix the sag. Some say you can use a jack to bend the door up but I'm hesitant to try that.

If there are more options I'd love to hear them too.

You can't shim our doors. Check Cunningham Machine for bushing and pin options that won't crumble in a week.

The hinges are welded on both the door and post sides. There is not shimming, new pins and bushings should get it done. As said Dorman one's are no go, Last side I did pins an bushings came from a GM dealer. Plenty of guys seem to like the Cunningham Machine ones too.

Bummer, I was looking for a quick fix. Thanks for the tip on Cunningham's. In order to put in new pins and bushings, do I have to remove the door? Can I just prop the door up and try to do it like that?

Need to pull both pins and get the door away from the body to get in there and do bushings, also there is a tool required to collapse the spring and get it back in.
