Another Ford Steering Question

I put a Redhead steering box in my 2000 F250 and it really helped tighten up the steering but I am looking for a little more. I replaced the tie rod ends a couple of year ago with Moog parts and am sure I don't have 15,000 miles since I did it. what would be the next logical place to look to further tighten up my steering.
Thanks,
Steve.

I’ve never seen a man SKF ball joint or tie rod end. Plus, Moog parts are not garbage.

I run a bearing manufacturer (we are US-based) and many SKF parts are China made, fyi.

Moog parts have gone down the toilet past couple years, and I'm not the only only one who's had problems either

The left side bearings were replaced, right seemed to be OK. Tie rod ends are still tight. Ball joints seem to be good too.
