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!

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
