Exclamation stronger steering components for larger wheels

hey guys i have a customer at my work that bought a 07 GMC HD with a duramax that came with 20inch rims with 33 inch tires. i know the rims are reverse mount and have a nasty offset(not sure of the numbers). but anyways this truck has 9k on it and both front tie rods, pitman arm, idler arm and maybe even the steering rod that holds them all together is shot! i mean about to fall off the truck, its only been road driven i know the problem has to be from the rims but before i tell him to find a set of stocks or something with a better offset i want to know if there are any aftermarket parts that are much stronger then the factory. give him a few options ya know. thanks for any info guys!
