Steering Noise?

I have a 1997 F-250 Lariat 4x4 with the 5.4 of course. I got a 4 inch lift and a set of 35" Buckshots on it. The ranch Hand front end probably adds a nice amount of weight to it as opposed to the stock bumper. Theres allot of noise when I turn but I try and turn the wheel when I'm rolling only. Is there a way to stop this noise? I heard that the nut (dont know what its called) at the end of the steering column i believe breaks allot on fords so all i want to get here is quiet, worry free steering. If theres a good replacement out there for a good price please inform me or help me get silence here.
