Steering binds or hangs in reverse in 4 hi

Trail Bud

Hooked
I have a 02 TJ with 33" tires and 2" rubber for a lift. I added new engine mounts for the drive line.
This was done 4 years ago.
Now I notice when I'm in 4 high and put it in reverse and cut the wheels hard either direction I get a binding or rubbing feel. It kind of bucks or jerks. I don't think it's rubbing. It doesn't do this in 2 wheel drive. I haven't checked 4 low.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for the advise.

4wd and at a full lock - Is it safe to say you feel this mostly on pavement? Sounds like typical u-joint bind. This is normal and you should try not to use 4wd on dry pavement.
