Wish I could take credit for the idea of caster being the culprit,but it was someone else. I thought your OME lift was a 3" plus your 2" spacer, netting 5" of lift, which would put your control arms at a steep angle. But it sounds like you're only around 3 total. Might still be too much on a grand Cherokee.
You don't have some cheap eBay wheel spacers or adapters on there by any chance do you?

Hmmmmmmm......
Caster should always be set to the factory spec. of 6-8 deg.
A few things that come to mind....
BallJoints.
Unit bearing hubs.
Broken belt in 1 or both tires.
Worn-out control arm bushings.
Soft or cracked bushing in the trackbar (axle side).
Incorrect toe-in.
Incorrect thrust angle.
Improper camber.
Worn-out steering componenets.
Loose steering gear box bolts.
Cracked unibody at steering gear box.
