From what I heard space the hinges as far apart as possible. The only I have done was an autoloc kit on an s10 and the hinges came already spaced apart. The hinges should be as close to the outside of the cab as possible so when you open the door it doesn't hit the cab. We ran into this problem with the first s10 door. I have a couple pics somewhere on my computer I'll post later for you. By the way which kit did you get?

Well I figured if I waited I would forget so here are some pics.

i don't know how much different the autoloc kit is from the one i have from suicidedoors.com, but what he meant was to move the hinge out as far as possible on the cab. that way it will swing open and not bind up on your cab. make sure to brace the door well also,

heres mine. I would try to space the hinges out as far as possible. This will keep the door steady.. On mine, the hinges are a little too close i think, And my hydrualics knock em out of wack.. so the doors need to be adjusted like once every month or 2.

hey assdraginsdime did you have to move your window track or did they go in fine.

On my buddies s10 we had to move the window tracks about 1/4 inch but it was no big deal. assdraginsdime those doors open up real nice. I have seen some that don't open the full 90 but yours look like they have plenty of clearance.
