Default frame flex

Been working on and off on the cobra, body work is very close, but door gaps are now the issue.
The cobra is on a two post lift, engine and suspension, wheels tires, installed, body is bolted to the frame with the hard rubber 1/8 body gasket, roll bar installed.
The doors close perfect,
now lower the car onto all for corners and the door gaps at the latches closes up enough to have to make it harder to close the door, maybe a 1/16 at the most.
Do your cars flex that much? So do they flex this much while driving, let alone spirited driving?
My intent will be to add X brace accordingly, etc. but is this normal flex and how do you address it.
Thanks
Daniel
