Lost a wheel balance weight, or there is a wad of dried mud or frozen ice on the wheel causing an unbalance. Have the wheel balance checked.
SOURCE: My 03 Wrangler shakes only at 45 mph
My Death Wobble started immediately after I installed a set of Coil Spring Spacers (to lift 1.75 inches). Turned out, the DW was because while changing the height, I also lowered the CASTER angle in the front end. So, to fix it, I could have purchased a set of eccentric bolts for $50+. Instead I went out and purchased a piece of 1.5 inch flat bar for $10 from OSH. I cut out 4 1.5 inch squares. Then i drilled 7/16 inch holes centerline, but close to one side (in exactly the same place) on all for squares. I then removed the lower control arm bolts, nuts and washers. I installed these square offset washers I made so the front axle would be pushed forward (to increase the Caster angle). The toe setting changed a bit, so I reset them to about 1/8 inch toe in. After driving my Jeep, I noticed there is no more DW. The steering wheel was off center, but after 3 attempts, I have that perfectly centered. I have every intension of having the alignment checked, but not till after I find the new tires I want. If anyone is interested, I can draw out and photograph the cure and send it to you.

SOURCE: While driving when i get up to or close to 55 mph,
a few possibilities:
tire out of round / bent rim, out of balance tires.
there is a suspension component in the front called the steering dampener, it can also be called a track bar. if this has gone bad, it can cause i violent shake under the right conditions.
good luck!

Rael good indication of a tire out of balance or a drive shaft out of balance.
