1996 2WD Front End Rebuild Parts List

I'm putting together a list of things to replace on my front end so that I can order them from rockauto.com. It sounds like Moog is the way to go, but ouch, its not cheap!

This is for my 1996 Ram 3500 2WD with IFS.

Here's what I've got so far:

2x Upper Ball Joints
2x Lower Ball Joints
1x Pitman Arm
1x Idler Arm

And here are some parts that I need help with:

Tie rod ends - I think I need two inners, and two outers, right? Are the inners the same on both sides and the outers the same on both sides? Looking on the rockauto.com website it looks like there is only 1 type of inner and 1 type of outer for my 2WD truck.

I also noticed there are what look like really long bolts that run from the control arms up to the stabilizer bar to connect them. They have bushings on them that are pretty worn. I'm not sure what they are called, does anyone know?

Are there any other parts that I should be ordering to replace as well? This is my first time replacing these parts on my truck, so sorry for all the questions.

Thanks.

Track bar? Or at least the ends? After i spent a bundle on the truck in the sig I STILL had to replace the passenger side Track bar bushing. Luke's link is the only way to go.
