I parked the blazer at the top of my sloped driveway until the brakes cooled down. So after a couple of hours the brakes have cooled down and the brakes now seem fine. I will adjust the brakes this weekend and see if that helps. I am resisting doing too much as I am wanting to upgrade the axles this summer. Wanting to go to 3.73 front disc at the least and maybe also 3/4 ton as well. At that point I would redo it all. For now just want to make it drivable. If the adjustment doesn't work I'll replace the hoses as well. FYI I drove it home over 30 miles and didn't have any issues with the brakes.
