Back to stock Height from what seems about 3 inches below
Soooo very recently I took it upon myself to try to correct some issues on my 800 dollar 1994 Jeep Cherokee Sport as a mechanic with little to NO experience, I seem to have gotten everything on (coils, shock absorbers front and rear, leaf springs, control arms) as well as mostly recently a Rear diff cleaning and fluid.
Here is where my problem comes into play, now when i start and run the car i am getting a lot of vibration under my drivers seat when driving at lower speeds and idling with my foot on the brake in drive.
Additionally I don't know if this is affecting anything but when i replaced my leaf springs my drive shaft slip yoke came out of the receiver slightly I manage to get it reseated and it never came out entirely but now with everything back in place I can see that it doesn't sit flush against the base of the receiver. Also before the work and the diff overhaul i was able to use my 4x4 full time and now i can only seem to get part time to engage. I am honestly a little worried i may have ****ed everything up here.

Check the transfer case shift linkage for any binding. The bushings do wear out. If the transmission mount has collapsed, that can pull the linkage out of alignment as well. The exhaust can also hit the crossmember. Check all of it. While doing the springs did you check u-joints and grease the slip yoke? What receiver are you referring to? The end of the transfer case?

I have yet to check the transfer case shift linkage but that is good advice I will check that out today. I did replace my transmission mounting bracket and that seemed to handle the majority of the issue but still a small amount of vibration I need to handle. What kind of grease do you suggest for my slip yoke I plan to do U joints this coming weekend and wasn't even aware I needed to grease the slip yoke.
