That can still be warped rotors, and that is where I'd start. It sounds like they may be really warped, and that would definitely make the whole vehicle shake. You should also feel it in the steering wheel. HTH!!

bad alignment will cause the front tires to get washboard effect
that you will feel when braking

sometimes uneven swaybar end links can cause the jeep to pull to one side or the other when braking. not sure if that helps at all.
