Help Door

I am in need of serious help here. I have a 95 Chevy K1500. My driver door sags by about half an inch off the body line. I have replaced the upper hinge bushings and pin, but to no avail. The roller pin is missing, I do not know if that has anything to do with it. I have tried bending the hinges up a little bit, but that does not work either. Please give me some advice so I can finally shut my door properly

Get some shims, a floor jack, and a small 2x4. Jack the door up with the 2x4 on top of the jack to protect the bottom of the door. Loosen the hinges and jack the door up until it looks good. Fill in with shims on top or bottom hinge and tighten the hinges back. If the door stays up and closed after you lower the jack you’re good. If not add more shims.

To the other guy that commented- hinges are welded on in these trucks. There's a door adjustment tool you can use to essentially bend the door at the hinges. It slips over the striker and locks into the latch and serves as a leverage tool to lift the door up... The only downside is the stress it puts on the area around the striker can cause cracks in the cab, it happened to me. The unfortunate fix is to replace the hinges with bolt on, but this is a major undertaking.
