Default Upgrading my drag link

I have Rusty's HD tie rod ad IRO's double sheer track bar, with a stock drag link and stabilizer. Recently I was getting the death wobble after hitting bumps on the road and highway. Had it looked at, and almost all the bolts were loose on the front end. Had it torqued to specs, but now apparently the drag link is bowing and is hitting the stabalizer mount bolt and apparently hits when turning right? Or so I was told from the shop. Regardless, I'm sure I would be better off with a beefier drag link. Should I just buy that? Or will it be better to go OTK/UTK?

Here's a few pics:

For a beefy replacement, your options are somewhat limited.
Currie steering, basically a huge upgrade stock style replacement.
1-ton steering as suggested already.
W brakes/ crossover steering
or custom crossover steering.
