The are straight. Your picture is good and shows the bend clearly.
You’ll have to fabricate the open limiters that attach at the bottom. Very simple to made. Once they brake the doors will open more than needed and cause that bend depending on how hard the door opens.

When I re-did mine, I moved the the open limiter attachment point on the door back a few inches. The leverage on the factory pin position is far to extreme and that is why they break all the time and mess up hinges and A-pillars.
