Just a wild guess but try going off road and make a full turn in 2 wheel and then 4 wheel and see if there is any difference, if not the linkage may be locked in 4wheel. Having abad u joint wouold make it click, thump or squeek but not hop. One other thing is you may have a locker in the front rear?...Tj

do you have a limited slip in the rear axle?
to check the u-joints, grab them with your hand amd wiggle back and forth and up and down, if there is any movement in the joint, replace it.
