Default 3" lift, now Rear Transmission Seal leaks?

I finally got the 3" RC lift on my 96 2wd Cherokee. However, now the rear transmission seal where the driveshaft connects at the tranny is leaking! And I have a bit of vibration at idle. What can be done about this? Do I need to do a drop on the crossmember like a TC Drop on a 4x4?

Essentially a tranny drop, right, since my 2wd has no transfer case? Thats why I was asking..

It will still work on a 2wd since all it doe's is lower the transmission cross member.
