Default Adding a 3rd Gen track bar conversion

I'm going to get rid of the steering wobble one way or another!
My question is, if I go with the 3rd Generation retrofit/conversion for the track bar, do I stay with 1999 specific parts or do I need to go to 03 - 07.5 parts?

I'm looking at the >>> Solid Steel Industries:
Conversion/retrofit kit 94 - 02 Dodge 2500
Adjustable track bar 94 - 03 Dodge 2500
Steering Stabilizer 94 - 02 Dodge 2500

In throwing any of the above into the mix, do I then need to get the product made to fit the 03 - 07.5, or do I stay with the 94 - 02 as listed?

Additionally, do you have any additional suggestions as to parts I should go ahead and replace, while I have it torn apart? I understand I'm taking a gamble as to whether or not it will all fit with my snow plow equipment...

Thanks in advance....

might want to try replacing your drag links too. i took mine down to the shop and was like what the heck is going on turned out death wobble. so replaced track bar fixed everything. or so i thought about 3 weeks later it did it again. then my cousin's buddy looked at it after driving it one day while pulling his buggy. turns out my drag links they were about to break in half so replaced those also and got her aligned and now drives like a dream

Thank you folks. I'll get the parts ordered next week.

I'll check out the chrome moly too.

Just tired of wandering all over the road.
