Default Aftermarket suspension for 98 Blazers

Does any of the aftermarket companies make aftermarket suspension kits for 98 Chevy blazers or is their some other source to get better than origional suspension parts? I need to upgrade my blazer as I am not happy with the origional handling of stock equipment. I had a 1 1/2 ton 72 GMC truck that had a nicer ride and better handling, so something has to be possible.

It is a 4WD. As far as lowering it or raising it, I would lower or raise it only if it improved the ride! Otherwise I am happy with the where it sits now.

Lowering it reduces the center of gravity creating better handling and you can acheive a better ride as well!! What I would do is crank down the torsion bars in the front and go to autozone or any local part store and get a tapered drop block to maintain pinion angle. You probably don't want to slam it so I would go with a 3 inch tapered drop block in the rear and crank the torsions down to level it after you lower the rear!!
