Default HELP! Door hinge pin worn out!!

Anyone have a fix for a lower door hinge pin/replacement? Mine is sagging on the driver's side by like an inch when you open the door!

Is it the hinge or the pin? Or both?
also check where the hinge mounts to the door and the body those areas can crack from stress

I *think* I got a repair kit from the Jeep dealer, wasn't too much at the time. Had a pin and bushings. But never installed it.
Was for that pin that keeps the door from flying open.

It's just the pin that goes thru the hinge here in this pic. You can lift the door up and down about an inch!
