Default How To Adjust Doors?

2nd Gen 4 door Blazer, After installing new hinge pins & bushings how are the doors adjusted so the strikers strike properly and air gaps between fenders and doors are nice and straight?
Thanks for your time.
Angelo, Joliet, IL.

There is no adjustment to the gaps as the hinges are welded in. Chances are, if the gaps are incorrect, the hinges are worn beyond a simple pin/bushing replacement type fix.

The striker can be adjusted by loosening the bolts holding it to the door frame.

Door misalignment could also result from a collision...but hopefully its just the hinges?
