for what its worth 4 door b pillar is just as strong as the 2 door one, and having the c pillar makes 4 doors stronger over all than the 2 door.

with the weight of the longer door on the 2 door It sags alot. When i got my jeep the upper hinge was ripped out and I re welded it and got it all straight just to have the door still sagging.

The 2 door xjs have larger and heavier doors, so they sag more than the 4 doors. They are also more prone to ripping off the upper hinges.
