Shaking between 60-70mph...
This issue has been going on for a few months yet and the diagnosis has been inconclusive so far. Between 60-70 mph all of my steering shakes pretty good. It doesn't happen every single time I hit this speed, but I'd say about 85% of the time. I have checked all of my steering components to check for anything loose and a drag link was loose, replaced that and no difference. Everything else is tighter than hell, got my tires balanced and aligned, and I don't believe it's a wheel bearing because it doesn't always happen when my steering wheel is turned. Though I do notice a humming sound at slower speeds too that doesn't sound like the noise of A/T tires. Please help, I need some sort of help and don't want to get ripped off at a garage somewhere

First i'd rotate the tires to see if the vibes go to the rear.
While rotating the tires a good time to check the wheel bearings.
I wouldn't just assume they're ok.
Check for any play in the steering gearbox, pitman arm, etc.
Crawl under the Jeep (on the ground-not lifted) and with a helper turning the steering wheel listen for clicks and/or any play.
Check the track bar mounting bracket, bushings.
Check the motor/tranny mounts.
