One of the biggest reasons that this toe-in/toe-out is even physically able to happen is due to a poor steering geometry from Dodge, there is literally a pivot point between the wheels that obviously should be connected. Basically, if you were to follow the steering geometry starting at the gearbox, you will find the drag link connecting to the pitman arm and then to the passenger side knuckle. Then, the center link connects at the drag link and goes to the drivers side knuckle. The point at which the drag link and center link connect is the pivot point. more
In mid-model year 2008, Dodge finally made some corrective action to this whole scenario and released a revised steering geometry for the trucks. Now, the center link goes knuckle to knuckle, and the drag link ties into the center link, thus eliminating the pivot point between the wheels. [links]

Now, WHAT IS DEATH WOBBLE? From the driver’s seat, Death Wobble is a situation in which an absolutely violent shaking of the front end occurs and transfers through to the steering wheel causing an abrupt side to side movement and this occurrence can only be stopped by literally slowing the vehicle down to a stop. The most frequent situation in which Death Wobble occurs is driving at freeway speeds, going around a corner, and hitting a bump, or especially an expansion joint on a bridge…..then IT happens! more

The most common reason why your car is shaking; is damaged tires or rims. These issues could occur either from just the age of the tire or from a smaller accident.
Tires need to get replaced once in a while because they are made of rubber, which will get old with age and start to crack. If the tires are getting worn, it can cause bubbles and uneven surfaces on the tires, which will cause your car to vibrate.
This can happens due to a wrong air-fuel mixture in the engine, which causes misfires. It can also happen because of misfires caused by worn ignition parts. However, if you have engine problems, the engine light will also show up on your dashboard.
