Proportioning valve. Basically it adjusts brake fluid pressure from the front and rear brakes.
Your problem could be a caliper piston issue. If made of a fiber rather than metal they can cause what your experiencing. Could also be the dust boots are damaged and letting debris in to the piston.

Thanks for the reply. I've been leaning towards calipers but wanted to rule out this part as a possible culprit. Gonna swap calipers pads and rotors today. Pads are still at 90% but having been hot from dragging i think its best to change them along with rotors.

replacing the thermostat housing today. Can I replace the water pump inlet tube without removing my relatively new water pump?
here's another one: When looking for shocks why do I need to specify 4x4 or rwd?

THANKS to djb383:
I'm not absolutely positive but I think the old tube could be cut above the hex and a deep socket used to remove the stub (with out removing the water pump). Then screw in a 5/8" hose barb X 3/8" MNPT brass nipple (from any hardware store) and measure/use a longer piece of 5/8" rubber heater hose.

As far as shocks I'm guessing that the front ones could be of different lengths. Maybe the rears to.

In response to the others: What are bar pins exactly? I didn't imagine anything would be different about the rear.

They take the same shocks?!
Shock Warehouse doesn't ask 2wd or 4wd.
then this from a site selling Bilsteins:

On a really hot muggy day the other day, while at the JY, I was able to peel off the front emblem of an XJ. The letters are in much better shape than mine. Any suggestions on A) how to get the old ones off mine (I was thinking blow dryer and fishing line) and B) what adhesive to use to put the new-to-me ones on my Jeep?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I think this is correct for lifted jeeps. Once lifted 2wd vs 4wd would be the same. I could still be wrong but I believe in stock form they are different

Sites will list the overall length and compressed length of the shocks. You will want to use that plus your stock heights accordingly. If you google cherokee stock shocks, you'll find tons of info.
