I just had this problem in my rig after hitting the bumper on some slick rock! I just used the BFH to put my bumper back in its place!!! Lol
Probably not what's wrong with urs but do check to see if its not getting caught up on any thing!

Sounds like you tweaked the body somehow wheeling your jeep. It's pretty common in unibody rigs to have some issues with the doors/hatch once you take it offroad.

all you have to do is flex out someware then open the hatch then take of the plastics and adjust them and oil them and youll be fine
