Welcome to DF. I'd go with a Thuren Track bar. Its fully adjustable, and Thuren will custom build it for your 4 inch lift. You will have to have the upper bracket welded on.
I'm guessing you don't know what kind of lift you have but could I ask you...Do your control arms hook up at the stock frame locations? And do you see a coil spacer between your frame mount and coil spring?
The reason I'm asking is that to my knowledge there only one or two dedicated 4 inch lifts on the market for 2nd gen rams.

Its possible. At one time Tough Country made a 4.5 inch lift that used a spacer. You could easily measure your spacer and find out. Most "spacer" lifts are either 2 or 3 inches.
I don't have the link, but Google "Thuren Track Bar" and you'll get it. I believe he's out of the bars for your truck at the moment but you can call him to find out when he's gonna make some.
BTW, he may have made it a 4 inch lift by adding different springs. If you have a factory track bar my guess is he didn't.
