Hey all, I'm have some problems getting my jeep into 4L. It shifts perfectly into Part-Time 4 High, but won't slide into 4 Low. I am lifted about 5" with a SYE and i don't think the transfer case has been lowered at all. I'm thinking it may be the TC linkage..?? Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!

I had a similar problem when I bought my jeep and upon inspection of the linkage from the lever to the tranfer case I noticed that a pin that the linkage pivots off of was loose. I was able to pop it back into place and now it works much better. I occasionally have an issue with it popping out 4-low if I let go of the transfer case shifter before I shift into drive, so I usually just hold it down with one hand while I shift into drive with my other.

Thanks for the input. The linkage looked okay, but i didn't really check it for loose parts. I'll check and report back.
