I am pretty sure there are slight differences accross those years, and it might depend on what exactly you are swapping. I think in 89 the tierod is ~ 1.5 in. shorter, but the tierod ends were longer. Past 92 the tierod got longer, the ends a little beefier, but shorter threads. So, a shorter shaft, and shorter ends = maybe no worky. Double check when I get home.

You can swap the entire tie rod over, yes.
Or you can buy a new one, since that 89 one is probably pretty worn out, and keep the 89 for a trail spare.

Swap it in for the mean time. Then make a new tie rod with 3/4" shank TRE from a Dodge Ram Charger. Go to this thread http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?p=243694180#post243694180 very simple to do.
