No help on trails around Branson, but hope you enjoy the trip. Expect more traffic and longer times to get where ever you are going. Traffic sucks in Branson during the summer. Great place to visit.

Here’s some relief from the heat. 37s

Toyo 35X11.50s

I love skinny 33s. So much that's what I put on before delivery. Then I went to skinny 35s. Loved them even more. Then skinny 37s. I'm not even searching for skinny 40s. Yet.

My '21 2.3L on 37s has great brakes, but I learned to drive 60's and 70's vehicles with no power brakes and probably only one of the 4 drums making contact, so I know bad brakes.

I found my factory bushings to be hard and cracked, not squishy, which limited articulation. Replaced lower arms and track bar with more consistent johnny joints. I have a lot of rear movement, but it tracks straight.

Had the Toyo 35x11.50s for 30K or so before going to 37x11.50s. Worked great on and off road. Never had any issues in the rain, but I also don’t drive wet roads like they’re dry roads.

I’m lifted with 37s. I have a 6X6 block on top of my floor jack and prefer not dragging four 5 ton stands out unless I really need to. Cordless impact with a torque wrench. Can do it pretty quick but I’m usually not in a hurry and not watching the clock.

I've owned a 70, 71, and 85 Blazer. Of course I'll take a look. I'm sure to be disappointed. The 4.3L Vortec is probably a better engine than any of those came with, even though it's not a V8. The 350s in my K5s weren't exactly HO.

You were driving and turning with a broken tie rod?

Even with the bigger doors on the 2 door I don't have a problem, but maybe it's an arm strength issue. I just stand on the inside of the door, look down and set both hinges onto the pins. It's pretty easy for me. Are you standing on the outside of the door where you can't see the hinges?

Are you using the supplied guides?

I think you're on to something there. I never considered how much more walking folks with moredoors have to do to rotate their tires. I'm surprised any of them do it themselves unless they're marathon runners.
