Jack up front wheels give them a shake check tierod ends and balljoints for play. Another thing to look at is to see if your tires are work/out of round.

You don't have a front track bar.The 4th Gen 1500's use a solidly mounted front diff with IFS (independent front suspension),you only have a track bar on a solid diff whether it's front or rear,IFS rear suspensions don't use a track bar either.When the diff itself is solidly mounted,it doesn't move up/down or side to side like a solid axle does,so there's no need for a track bar.As stated above check both inner and outer tie rods / ball joints / wheel bearings etc.

Yeah good and bad news there, no trac bar means it cant be the issue and you can NOT simply fix it by putting a beefier/adjustable one in, super easy with jeeps to fix most death wobbles. So it very likely means tires out of balance. If it is ball joints check tires for uneven wear. A 2010, it is time to have a suspension specialist get under there and check everything and tighten and replace what needs replacing. Tell us more about the wobble, only at high speeds going straight with no brakes?
