Default t-case won't shift into 4 low

After I put my 4.5" lift on my XJ I can't shift my transfer case into 4 low anymore. Im guessing it's because my linkage is at a different angle now with the t-case drop. I tried adjusting the linkage under the jeep but nothing seems to work. Anyone have this problem? Anything will help, this is being a real PIA on the trails not being able to use my 4low.

Is the linkage that connects to the t-case hitting anything like the driveshaft or getting stuck on the t-case itself?

you shouldn't have to adjust anything on your t-case at all after a lift like that and a small t-case drop... there must some other kind of issue like a bindage or maybe something below the trim panel thats blocking is from shifting down.......

yeah thats what im trying to figure out, when I pull the lever back to shift into 4 low there it no problem at all, doesn't feel like its catching or snaging anything, it just doesn't seem to reach all the way back to catch the 4 low position
