Default suspension question

I'm looking to add some more control to my blazer. It's really bouncy, and seems to tippy to me. Anyone have any suggestions / tutorials / links on how I can improve my 95' LT's turning and control?

First, welcome to the Forum.
Now, how many miles are on the current shock absorbers and what type are they? Do you think the springs seem to be in good shape? Have there been any modifications done to the suspension (raising, lowering, etc.)? And please put your vehicle information into a signature (see mine below for an example). You can do this in your 'member profile'.

Alright. They haven't been changed. I'm on 115k? They must be wore out by now. There has been no modifications. No raising/lowering.

Yep, I would change the shocks. You get different recommendations from different people. I like the Bilsteins that came standard on my Blazer, but some like Monroe (various models), some like Rancho, etc.
