Have your brakes checked, especially the emergency brake cables. Make sure brakes are releasing properly. I once had a F**D that would change lanes if you applied the brakes at highway speed-- ended up being an emergency brake cable hanging up inside the sheath and now allowing brakes to release completely, or evenly.
Best,

sounds like a caliper is sticking, the tires are bad? or just a tire. or someone does not know how to balance the wheels correctly.If alignment was done and all front end parts are good, then i would say bad tire. also check tire preassure, SB at 32 -35 PSI.

Run the truck until everything is at temp then jack up the front wheel and see if it rotates easy or do you have to grunt to rotate the wheel. If you have to grunt then it is the caliper sticking ( usually) But it could be the brake hose is swollen shut. Only way to check that is put on a new brake hose. Good Luck.

have someone balance the tires with a tire balancer that applies a road force simulation. My dads shop has a machine that does that it it makes a world of difference. I have goodyear wranglers and balanced them and still had a vibration so i balanced it on this machine and found that one tire had 100lbs of road force (wich means that the tires and rim combo are out of round) I took the tire and rotated it to where it would lower the road force and got a much smoother ride. Ill see if i can get him on to explain what it all means. I just know that it makes it easier to balance and ride smoother

Wow. I have the same thing happening to my truck. The front end vibrates at about 80. I would like to know if it could be the calipers or the brake hose cause I would hate to bring it to the dealer and tell them, WELL THE FRONT END SHAKES AT ABOUT 80-90, AND THEN HAVE THEM TELL ME. WELL YOUR NOT SUPPOSE TO BE GOING THAT FAST YOU KNOW. I still have the original Wrangler tires on with about 30,000 Miles on them, That might also be part of the problem. I got a 2000, 4.7, 4x4.
