Reason I ask as it was my problem with 4L. Does the boot seam to limit the lever travel at all? My boot wanted to return the lever back towards center.

I don't know anything about a Dana 20 , but there is no adjustment on a Dana 300 .
Most of the time either the shifter is hitting the boot or the body making it pop out, sometimes there is a bunch of crud built up on the shift linkage and not letting it go into gear all the way. If I were you I'd get under the jeep and try cleaning the linkage and rails to see if it helps.
You could also let someone shift it while your under there and watch it to see if the linkage is working right.

No adjustment. Could be just be the linkage is just worn out, not allowing it to go all the in to 4L. Like Old Dog said, make sure it isn't hitting the body because of worn body mounts.
Twin sticking it will only make it worst. Could be worn or broken detent springs on the shift rails.
