Any opinions on upgrading the tie rods?

Hey all, I have a 1999 Ranger XL 3.0L and am planning on doing some overlanding with it. Not really interested in trying to rock crawl and get into any serious off-camber situations, but in case I do have to do some weird flexing in the occasional rough spot, I'd like my tie rods to be substantial enough to not bend on me. I can't seem to find any after-market parts that are stronger than what comes stock other than some Moog parts (linked below). Does anyone have any experience with these or even know if they would be a bit stronger than the stock ones my Ranger comes with?

When I did my lift I used Moog upper and lower Ball Joints and A-Arm, it was the only way I could find good ball joints.
I have been running these for over 10 years, greased every 3 or 4 month, same for the drive shafts, SuperLift front and rear.

Bad ball joint, not sure sorry !
