bulletproofing 2000 steering or upgrade?

Does anybody have any experience with either bulletproofing or upgrading the steering(tie rods/drag link) on a 2000-2004 f250?

RedHead steering box is a good choice from what I hear. Other than that, Moog suspension parts appear to be good if you don't do a lot of off roading. There is a lot of information on the 99-03 7.3 forum about suspension and steering upgrades/maintenance. I would invite you to take some time to search through the numerous threads for years of knowledge and lessons learned.

Buy good name brand parts from your local parts house that have lifetime warranty. Don't buy a product with a limited warranty. As long as the truck is yours, you can keep it tight and right with the warranties.

Moog = Made in China and lots of $$ 2X the price as stock Ford.
If I were to do it again I would use XRF. Yes they are not cheap.
But when I went with stock from Ford they nickel and dime you
on the small things like nuts and snap rings. Silly if you thing
about it



Happy New Year 2016 is NOW here
