96 4.0 making strange noise at slow speeds

I drive a stock 96 2WD with the 4.0 engine, recently it has been making a noise at slow speeds, i want to say speeds less than twenty-ish or so, so far i have had my tires rotated and balanced but that hasn't really done anything. As far as i can tell nothing is leaking. The noise kind of sounds more like a grinding than a knocking and sounds to me to be coming from the front and not the back, though i may be wrong.
 
Pull the front driveshaft, see if the noise persists.
Walk alongside the Jeep while a trusted friend drives it - see if you can locate the noise.
Check your brakes to ensure you don't have a caliper dragging
