Can you be a bit more descriptive about the "shake"?
Does it feel like a heavy vibration (vertical) or does it feel like the wheels are wobbling side to side rapidly?
The heavy vibration tends to be more controllable and as WOL said is almost always caused by poorly balanced wheels.
The wobbling makes the Jeep feel more uncontrollable and it can have many root causes.

Would it be accurate to say that you have no caster correction?
Open the FAQ's and read this one:
Q: What is Caster? How much do I need?
Also read through any of the dozens of other DW threads. The general advice is to get the tires re-balanced and to double check that the track bar is tightened to spec. Do those, and let us know the outcome...
