Any recommendations for a good quality hinge pin and roller kit with springs? All of the ones I see are Dorman... Which are sub-par at best.

I will adjust the striker I guess. I just seems odd to me that the door closed great before I loosened the latch in the door. I moved the latch not the striker while replacing the handle. Also it is no big deal if the plate inside the cab comes loose when loosening the striker. All you have to do is pop out the cubby in the extended cab and grab it. Not sure what you do on a regular cab I guess.The latch is positioned by the screws which are countersunk in the sheetmetal, no adjustment. The striker bolt in the door jamb is adjustable, just take care not to unscrew it much or the nut plate behind it will fall loose. Many have found a loose, rattling door is due to old weatherstripping that has become compressed and that replacing it solves the rattle.

I've been there on an extended cab and you are 100% correct that you can just pop out the rear seat cubby; in other cabs you definitely have more work ahead of you so I wanted to mention the possibility of dropping the nut plate.I will adjust the striker I guess.
