jeep rolls in park

Well I have a 94 gc 5.2 full time 4 wheel drive, the coupler in my tcase is bad so It hops when turning in parking lots, so I removed my front drive line till I can find a selectable tcase to swap, but I noticed now when I park on a slight grade it will slowly roll back until an objects stops it, any ideas why? Or how to correct it? Thanks guys

Yep
put the front drive shaft back in, or it will roll every time!
Ebrake will be required if not.

no it is because of the VC (the part which is bad) transfers power to the front or the back axle. when you are parked it is trying to send the power to the front axle as the VC is thinking the front does not have any traction(yes it does this with the engine off as it is mechanical) .

e-brake or tire chalk it
