Door strikers = best $100 I've spent on this truck

BlAcKeNeD · May 11, 2017

Anyone else have experience with this? Opinions seem construed on if it actually helps or not...

Front doors don't flex as bad, might just keep them in the front. The rear doors still close to hard so I'll be going back to stock for the rear.

I'll sell two strikers for 25 shipped. You get one free pretty much.

i might end up doing that too... the rears need to be slammed hard on mine in order to fully close.. the fronts dont squeek at all anymore so they do work.. i would just like them to shut harder against the seal now..

You can push the strikers inboard a bit to get the doors tighter. Just know you can go too far, and the handle will need more pressure to unlatch- which I think may be Jomax's situation.

The adjustment range is super small but worth trying while you're there.

i dont see how on mine as they have a tapered head that makes them center on their own?

The cage in the body will move around slightly. My one back door didn't close with that thump and didn't feel right when closed . I loosened the bolts just enough to keep pressure on the striker and tapped it in with the ratchet handle

X2 on this. Installed 10 of these so far on 3 different trucks and about half needed some tweaking to get the door to latch firm without having to slam the door to get it shut.

I guess I got lucky. All four of my doors are fine. They are a little bit harder to close, but not enough to be an issue.

lincolnlocker · May 17, 2017

holy ballz, i did the swat it with a hammer trick.. worked beautifully on passenger side. everything is tight and so much quieter. the drivers side on the other hand went way to far and i havevto slam it very very hard for it to latch. then my torxs bit broke and now im heading to replace it so i can losen them up a hair.. the drivers side smashes the seals tight as hell.. i like it but i have to *** around to get the doors to shut..

My truck has 4k on it and the doors rattled as if they weren't fully shut. I replaced the stickers with the F150 ones. Drove the truck today and no more rattle. Very happy with the results.

FYI I tried to put these on a 2016 extended cab yesterday but the bolt holes are spaced different.

It may be a shot in the dark but have you taken a look at the F150 Supercab door strikers to see if there is a difference there as well? Just a thought.
