thinking about moving down from a 6” BDS lift and 37” tires to 4” BDS lift and 35” tires (35" x 12.50" w/15 x 8 and 3-1/2" back spacing)

i love my hutchinson beadlock rims so if i need to change rims i will get another set of hutchinson for sure.  Tires i’m on the fence… i currently have BFG KO2’s which are practically brand new and i have 5 of them… but do i stay with those or move to something else. i love toyo’s but wil have to see.

The BDS lift is close to $2000 and probably is that price with tax.  i would just do the install myself.  My main concern is the driveshafts. i don’t want to change them. if i have to because they are too long, i may just buy new ones and keep these with the 6” lift with possibly the tires.  We’ll see…

Utilizing Davison Automotive to fix my rear brake lines since I found brake fluid under my Blazer which tells me I have a small brake fluid leak.  I checked the Master Cylinder and it didn't appear even low so its probably very small leak.  The estimate to replace the rear brake lines is roughly $300-$350 so we'll see what it ends up being.  Dropped it off at 7am today and we'll see how it works out.

HVAC is an issue for sure.  I have replaced everything it feels and still doesn't work.

HVAC is working mostly..  it heats up nicely.  The issue is the actuator is moving but the door attached isn't moving (like its stuck)...  but its not a priority right now since I can at least heat the cabin up.  I'm sure I'll need this to work in the summer when I need to cool it down.  Some reason heat from the headers, flowmasters, engine I believe help it heat up inside.

Brakes are leaking pretty bad after Davison Automotive replaced the front part of the rear brakes and put a new Master Cylinder on.  Going to try and bring it in on Thursday to have them fix what they were suppose to fix.

K5 is at Mr. Frontend today to get 4 new Ball Joints since there is some play on the drivers side lower and a little play on the right side lower.  Since they have to change them just going to have the uppers done as well (estimated cost $1000 using Moog).  They suggested a steering stabilizer/dampener but it would be aftermarket.  They would prefer I find it and bring it in.

I need to add a light to the front of my K5 for trail riding.  Been trying to figure out where to mount the light on the front to help me see where I'm going.  Thinking of front bumper and using the combo light that does spot and flood.

I'd like to add an sPod under the hood of the Blazer so I could connect my AirLockers to (Turn on/off compressor, Turn on/off front locker, Turn on/off rear locker) then I would also add the rigid front bar light.

The square holes on my diy4x bumper are 2" which I haven't found any decent light that will light the trail so I'll probably just save those holes for my highlift jack.

To the right of the Warn control box I could add a 10" rigid light..  something like the E-Series PRO 10 inch SPOT/FLOOD combo bar. (SKU110313)

Even though I like the low profile look of the sr series pro 10 inch spot/flood combo (SKU910313) which is about a hundred dollars cheaper than the eseries pro 10inch shown above.

COMPARING SPECs, they look the same

For reference, the different beam patterns
