Sounds like your hinge pins are wearing out. You can get a hing pin and bushing set either at the dealer or any auto parts store. You'll need a jack and a block of wood, or some rubber matting to protect the door. Open the door and place the jack under the door and raise the jack just enough to support the door. Using a hammer, I use a brass hammer but a steal hammer will work, drive the hinge pins out one at a time. With the hinge pin driven out you'll be able to see the wear in the hinge plate, then you install the bushings required to " realign" the pin holes and then reinstall the hinge pin. Sometimes the holes are badly elongated and on the later models were the hinge is welded I remove the door and build the wear area with a wire welder. The bushing method usually works well for most. Good luck I hope this helps.

Air shocks trouble shooting no air to shocks rear end saggs

first off! check the shocks seperately with a seperate line to each shock to insure the boots are not blown!! also check the o-rings or farrow beed's around the lines where to go into the shocks for leakage with some dish soap and a spray bottle if thr shocks seems to hold air when isolated from the system then you either have a broken line or the lines where they connect to the ir pump itself are leaking of one side of the air pump it leaking internally`
