Nothing else for it but to replace the door hinges with ones with good springs.  These may be hard to find so you can take springs from passenger side hinges & put them on drivers door hinges. Lowering is best done with proper lowered front springs, since there is no dropped kingpin like the dropped stub axle for HR crossmember from CRS.  Lowering blocks are OK on the rear.
