- The suburban has heavy doors and overtime the sheet metal will relax causing a sagging door. Today we fix that using ordinary tools. Also we have a kit for the door striker plates.
Here is the place to buy the striker bushings, $10.00 a set:

Just a little tip, adjusting the body side of the hinge moves the door up and down, adjusting the Door side of the hinge moves the door in and out.
You’re the Man, Sir. my dude has two ‘87 K5s & your sag fix method is exactly what I thought would work for one of them. seeing it happen on the Burb, before I put tool to K5, let’s me know how many beers to bring/charge my Bud
Nice!! Yeah the square body doors are heavy!! The 4 door square door weighs more then the doors on my 67 Tempest and they are long!!! Glad to help!!!
This vid helped me a lot with my 86 when adjusting the doors. Thanks a lot!
Hey, a tip from someone who works on lots of old trucks. If your getting into old square body repairs they will be standard sizes not metric. At least not that I have found from factory.
Yeah I’ve found that they might be both. I have an 86 F-150 assembled in Canada. Very similar. Half metric 1/2 SAE.. 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️go figure..
Good info - do you have a system to adjust 90 burb cargo doors?
Our burbs match!
The doors like t9 separate and sag also. My burb door when open if someone lifts you can see the Crack move by the wing window. Had to reweld mine
Square body doors are heavy!!! Glad we could help!
What size washers?
Just replace the bushing on the latch receiver. That will raise the door line and make it close better.
Replace the pins and bushings, that’s the real issue
True. But this helps even with brand new door hardware.
He lifted the the door itself did you see how it didn’t have any slop, the whole vehicle moved. The pins and bushings are good.
Thats what happens when you own chevys..
