steering box question

The steering in my '92 F-150 has always been rather loose. I just had upper/lower ball joints, drag links and tie rod ends installed and of course I had it aligned. This made a huge improvement in the steering, but it is still a little loose. Tolerable, but I'd like to tighten it up a bit. Is there a way to adjust the steering box? Thanks in advance!
