What do you guys use on your door jams for filler after the hinge pockets are ground smooth with the jamb. Body filler concerns me because of the stress in that area and cracking. Thanks.

if your doors are sagging enough to stretch the metal enough to crack filler, I'd be concerned with your alignment, and install, more than cracked bodyfiller. I have yet to see an issue with suicides and bodyworking the jambs, in a proper installation. -Brad

Alignment is right and  no sag i have it all braced up to the cab from behind. Just wanted to make sure standard filler is what to use. Thanks

as long as everything is welded and ground smooth and no holes in the metal you should be fine with regular bodyfiller
