Thanks for that detailed explanation of what I should do. The only problem I
have with it is how do you hold the door frame when you're doing all this
shifting?


Nail the jamb near the top and bottom of each jamb side near the
hinges on that side and about the same place on the lock side. Get
the door pretty much set (level and plumb) with your shims. Only the
4 nails are still holding things close. Tap the jambs in or out,
where you need them, and add nails as you go. Check your clearance
along the way.
