It's a Dodge, notorious for the "Death Wobble."
Maybe, but is is not normal, I have never had the "Death Wobble" on my 2001, and it has 287,000 miles, drives where I point it Michelin M/S2+ tires 265/75-16 E's. Tire Pressure Front 65 to 70 psi, rear empyy 45 to 50 psi loaded 65 to 80 psi.
I also disagree with tires needing to be driven in for a couple 1,000 miles to get broken in.
I would be checking every joint in the front end, this would include the steering shaft, ball Joints, tie rod ends, Track Bars, control arm bushings.
Go to the best front end shop you can find.
