When I got my 2016 JK it felt like described. I've had it for two years and it kinda went away. I just had all ball joints replaced and got 2 nee tired in the back, it felt awful dangerous in the highway, feels like the slightest touch in the steering wheel drives me to the side. I'm sure I got a pitman, what do you recommend?
 
What are you used to driving? That can account for a lot of the feelings you are having. As others said, air tires to 30 (to start) check the shocks are ok. Check toe in. Set to around 1/8". Check ANTIsway bars are hooked up. Check trackbar and all the lower steering links. See if control arms are ok. If all is good then you are in a Jeep and it may take a bit to get used to them. While they will never be a Miata, they are actually very nimble drivers once you get to know them.
