Default Shaking at speeds lower than 40

So I accidently jumped the truck today... went to fast over some train tracks and didn't see a drop off. Pretty sure the rear end stayed on pavement but the front end deffinately saw some air. Came down a little hard but not too extreme. Not far down the road after I stopped laughing I noticed a shaking/ vibration coming from what seemed like the front end. Once I got up to speed (45+) it was gone, or at least not noticable. Happens whether I'm on the gas or not. Still goes in a straight when I let go of the wheel. Where should I start looking for the problem?

Bent wheel/s, wheel hub/s, bent tie rod/s, upper or lower ball joints, etc.
Get under it and start looking for damage.

I checked everything out last night and the wheels look fine, tie rods are good and I see no obvious damage on CV Axle. What should I specifically be looking for on there?
It seems to be vibrating the most when I have my foot on the gas, when I coast it is faint to nonexistent. If it was a bent wheel or tie rod I would think it would be constant, but then again I'm still new to this. How much more can I look for before I have to take it in? Thanks Man!

If all of the above check out then move on to the front diff (supports, cross member, half shafts, prop shaft, etc.)

Check your front shocks.. they will cause vibration if they are loose/damaged.
