Default 4 high not workin

my 98 cherokee is bone stock... which hasnt stopped me from playin in the mud but has lead to a mess of problems.. one that i am having is 4 high is grinding out when any stress is put on it. it will work fine until i need it then it just grinds and doesnt do anything. 4 low works as its supposed to and saved me when this started happening but i need 4 high. any ideas what this might be??

have you looked at your tc linkage? almost sounds like its bent and a bounce or mud makes it shift which then wont let you back into 4hi
