driver door sags

97 F250HD extended cab, the drivers door is sagging, I have done all I can do with the striker adjustment, looking for recommended ways to loosen the door hinge bolts to adjust the door to the cab lines.

Replace door hinges.
Align door by loosening door hinges.

The door is sagging because the hinges are worn out. Replace them.

Tried to find the brand I used on the Bronco II but couldn’t find the receipt.

Could just be that the pins and bushings need to be replaced. Takes about 20 minutes to do all four.

Could be but I’ve never had any luck only replacing the pins and on my trucks the spring that holds the door open was also broken. That is why I replace the whole hinge assembly.
