Sad Help me fix my Steering...

I'm tired of having to fight my truck to keep it on the road, not to mention from 40-50 it feels like my truck is going to shake apart. I need some advice on how to fix this problem, FOR GOOD!
What are some good aftermarket parts I can use to replace the OEM JUNK!?!? Should I just switch to a 3rd gen Style? I just need some advice ASAP! Thanks all!

I did find this from another search...

2nd gen to 3rd gen conversion bracket with adjustable track bar

...will this work with a 2wd, 4wd or is thier a difference? Also what else would be recommended for some steering upgrades?

Solid Steel Industrial steering stabilizer bar is good aftermarket part to stop the sloppy steering for good!

I know that, I'm just wondering what brands. I want something that comes with everything I need. Bushing, Track Bar, Hardware etc.

Would that be what they call "Death wobble"?Or is that something that only happens to Fords?

It's a 2wd. And yes, I know the steering box stabilizer is a definite must. I got under the truck and I need new everything. My Pitman and Idle Arm Bushings are shot along with both Inner and Outter Tie Rod Ends so I guess I'm gonna get to spend a chunk of money getting her straightened out again. Not to mention I need new tires and an alignment
