I'm tired of replacing front end parts

[cowboycowboy91]

I have a 2000 ford ranger 4x4 with a 3 inch body lift....the one in my profile pic, and I have been replacing front end parts right and left. I replaced both wheel bearing assemblies twice in 4 years, lower ball joints a couple times, upper control arms once and upper control arm bushing after 1 year of use on the new ones, and cv axles. I understand that big tires on the factory suspension is going to do that, but my question is, what can I do to beef up my suspension, without too much fabrication work required? I also plan on doing a 4bt cummins swap, when I get the time and courage to do it. I figure that will add a little more weight and make matters worse.
