Did anybody mess with the wheel bearings when the brakes were done? Were the calipers tightened correctly after the brake job? Does your jeep have ABS? Could be an ABS issue.

This might be off, but I was having a similar issue. Only vibration when slowing, turned out to be my front rear drive shaft u-joint... Just a thought...
