Default Steering Gear Boxes

I have a 97 Cherokee Sport with about 115xxx on it. Last spring I replaced the steering box with a durango box from the junkyard. That lasted me about 6000 miles and now i have play in the output shaft that holds the pitman arm. As far as I can tell there are no rebuild kits other than new seals. So I cant replace the metal parts.

I dont want to have to change this again... Meaning stay away from junkyards. What are reasonable options pricewise that will last a while with my 33's.

I'm assuming this is low quality? Anything reman'd is questionable but I dont have the money as a broke college kid to get a whole new box.

Please dont give me the sphiel about how you cant have something cheap last forever. I just want something decent.

Solid parts or a seal kit?
