When 4H goes to 2H, it feels like frame was hit by a sledge hammer.
First, there is a delay in switching to 2H from 4H gear.
Then after maybe 30-2 min gear goes to 2H and I feel like truck was hit by a sledge hammer.
Any ideas about transfer case problem?
Fluid is OK.

All tires the same size? This is how you're supposed to shift the transfeer case.
Here's how the factory suggests you shift the transfer case and I've been doing this since these things were new and I worked at the dealership. Quoted from the owner's manual.
"To engage, shift the transfer case lever from 2H to 4H while the vehicle is moving at any legal speed". I let off the gas, throw the lever and then tap the gas and let off.
4L position: " To engage, slow the vehicle to 2-3 MPH , shift the transmission to Neutral, then shift the transfer lever to the right and pull firmly rearward to 4L".
