I believe the 2WD models use the smaller kit. Funny thing is that both kits come with the replacement bolts and spacers for the 2WD linkage. On a 4WD install they are not used.
UPDATE: After torquing down the end link a little more,(at about 5/8" exposed thread above the nylock) I went and test drove it. I did a quick mixed loop or local streets and a quick run down the Interstate. No its is not an autocrosser now, but I have noticed a little more of a planted feel in the front end. Cornering is improved a little. Its still a big heavy truck, but It feels a little flatter(less roll) than before. Overall, easy install, and good results, worth the $28.00 I paid plus shipping.
Dakota- I ordered right from Energy Suspension- /www.energysuspensionparts.com
Miami- First thanks for the tip, Second, from my research the 30mm is for some earlier (pre'98) models, and all V6 Rams.
I wonder if my bushings are snug. I've been driving the truck a couple weeks and things seem ok. My understanding is they're not to be smashed, just bulged.

Is there a difference between the black and red bushings? Special material property or just for looks?

i like the quick disconnect for the swaybar. and the paint.
did you ever start a thread with pictures of everything you've been painting lately? if you did then i haven't seen it.
here's my energy suspension bushings. i got the universal pack of the wall in the ricer section and bored them out a little with the dremel and a sanding wheel.
they don't look as big around as y'alls but they work.
my dad was telling me about the strength of polyurethane, he uses it at his work as a die to press shapes into sheet metal, so if it can take tons of pressure without rupturing then i imagine the smaller bushings will be ok.

Love your quick disconnects. Where'd you get those? Easy to undo/reconnect?
