Best suspension brand?

Best suspension brand?
hey y’all,
got a 98 blazer 4wd ls. Want to replace the entire suspension/ steering. By that I mean upper and lower control arms with ball joints, inner and out tie rod ends with sleeves, sway bar links with bushings and rear bushing and links. I know everyone has been using moog in older posts although is moog still the top company to go with? WOULD prefer to do this the right way the first time with a good quality part then to using something cheap and have to do it a few times. I’ve seen some control arms made out of cheap thin metal instead of the thicker sturdier one like stock. My blazer is BONE STOCK with 110k mikes and I plan on doing a rough country 6 inch lift in the near future so I’d like to get something that will have good quality and hold up.
Thank you

<br /><br />From my research here and elsewhere, Moog always seems like a good starting point. The other option for several parts is also Proforged. For other ideas, I would suggest consulting Outfitter Design (<a href="https://www.outfitterdesign.com/chevrolet-s-10-kits.html">https://www.outfitterdesign.com/chevrolet-s-10-kits.html</a>). I don't plan to do anything more than the 2" lift I have now but if you want a new beefier IFS axle, check out their builds. I purchased their 1-ton idler arm bracket for installing in the future.
