You have three options, lower the rear of the fender, raise the door, or both. From the looks of things, they weren't lined up last time it was apart. This based on the paint damage. Another factor is how the door currently lines up everywhere else in the cab opening. You can move the door, fenders, hood, cowl, pretty much everything but the cab openings (where the door fits). If you line up the door in the openings (rocker, window runner, etc) then you would work you way forward with the front clip.

Simple answer is unbolt the door and raise it if there's room. This may also entail repositioning the door catch mechanisms too.
