Question Dodge 1500 steering upgrades

So I have a 2001 Dodge 1500 4x4 and just last week I had my first "death wobble" incident. My truck has a 2.5 inch leveling kit with adjustable track bar, new ball joints, control arm bushings, shocks, and hubs. I run 33x10.5x20 street tires and do mainly highway driving (full time college student). I have read quite a bit about ways to fix my problem but most of what I read is for 2500/3500 and I want to know what will work on my truck. I am looking at a DOR steering kit and possibly a new steering box, redhead maybe, not too sure if those will work. Just wanting some input on what products will work on my truck for the best price. I do not want to spend heaps of money but I am willing to pay for quality stuff.

First thing to do, would be to inspect what's there currently, and see if anything is worn, bent, or you just don't like the color. Deal with that first, and see if that doesn't improve it's attitude at all.
