2wd Death Wobble?

Just recently my 2001.5 Ram 3500 developed the dreaded "death wobble" after striking small bumps in the road at various speeds. I know from the '95 Ram 2500 that we used to have that the cause with the 4X4 model was a worn track bar more often than not. What might the cause be in a 2wd version? The truck has about 155k miles on it now.

Had a 66 2wd chevy thad did it real bad on a regular basis. steering gear (box) was worn out. swapped for a better one and it never did it again.

The thought had crossed my mind. I was hoping that was not the answer. Everything looked ok from underneath. I guess I need to jack it up and see what it all looks like unloaded.
