Intermediate steering Shaft

Was looking to replace the intermediate steering shaft on my '02 Ram 2500. All the adds state that their shafts fit 4WD but my rig is 2WD.
Anyone know for sure if they're the same. I'll list a Dorman shaft I found on 1A Auto: DORMAN Lower Intermediate Steering Shaft: 425-264.

Borgeson seems to be the replacement of choice for our rigs....take a view, eh?

Yeah I've seen the Borgeson. Nice looking unit but a little spendy. I got almost 200K and 19 years out of the OEM shaft and it's still in there, just a bit sloppy.
Same question though....are the 4WD and 2WD units the same?

Not questioning you. Are you certain your issue isn't the bearing/bushing at the bottom of the column?

Check out rocksolidramtrucksteering.com ? We developed a simple, effective solution.

I went to Rock Solid and bought there bushing type replacement for the steering column. Little bit of a PITA job but it took care of about 75% of my problem. Thanks for the tip!
BTW, the intermediate shaft was actually in good shape. I expected the U joints or something to be worn out but not so.
