Hey all i have a 97 cherokee 33x12.5's, about 4.5-5" lift, locked front and rear..anyways my jeep engages fine into four and four low never pops out but when im done and need 2wd again it will get stuck in 4hi. The linkage is not bent, bushibgs are in good shape still. The lever feels like it needs to be pushed forward more for 2wd but cant so im not sure whats going on. The only way i can get it out is going in reverse and turning in a circle haha. Any help would be appreciated!!

Just sprayed the linkage to adjust it its really nasty. And just did a fluid change which was also really nasty. And no im not driving around in 4, it just sticks when i shift back into 2 and i look like a goon driving around in reverse circles trying to get it out of 4
