How can I tell if my truck has the "handling package" or not?

I was looking at tie rod ends and the like on rockauto.com and they list different tie rods and adjusting sleeves for trucks with the handling package and without the handling package.

How do I know if mine has it or not, is there something on the door jamb sticker to tell me?

It says right on the website, "With Handling Package," "W/o Handling Package" and the tie rod ends have different threads between the two.

So there must be such a thing.

...there is no "handling package" so the web site must be wrong.

I got a build sheet for my 95 from Ford that lists a "handling package" as one of the factory installed options, in addition to heavy duty suspension. I'm not sure, but I'm thinking the "handling package" might be front and rear swaybars... maybe heavier duty tie rods also?
