Default Sucky OEM Replacement Parts

Ok so im sick of ball joints going every other day, along with all the tie rods, also think my gear box is weak/worn/sloppy. I play around in the snow and have like a snowballs worth of snow on my rims and going down the road as soon as i hit 40 i get more shakes rattles.. what upgraded steering/suspension parts can i go with? I have a crossreference at work so if you know anything from a diff vehicle that is stronger throw it at me.. I just wanna be done with the front end..

Do i wanna go with like a durango box and some upgraded tie rods?

1 ton steering set up.
Durango Box or new XJ box with less miles

as far as ball joints. spend the money on the PRO grade not SERVICE grade. more money but ALOT better. Specially the napa ones.
