Also.. I've run into quite a lil problem.. Something is up with my transfer case! I can put it in 4 hi, but it will slip out unless I hold it in while driving. And I can not even get it into neutral or 4 low.. There is no grinding at all.. It just won't budge.. And yes I know you have to slide it to the right and then back.. Any ideas!!?

Hve you tried adjusting your shifter linkage yet?

I looked at it while a friend was messing with the lever inside the jeep.. It didn't really look like it was catching on anything anywhere.. What is it I should be looking for to adjust on it?

There's a single bolt that you loosen. Once loose, make sure the shift lever is all the forward and then manually shift the tcase into 2lo, then tighten the bolt.

Ok, thanks! I'll give it a shot when I get home. Is this common to have to do after installing a lift?

I got on the interstate with it today and a few miles down the road I started getting real bad vibrations.. Pulled off and turns out the transfer case side of my drive Shaft was all loose and just kinda flopping around.. By this I mean the driveshaft was still bolted to the transfer case, just the u joints to and the little ball thing inside and all those components were loose.







Does this mean I have to get a new driveshaft?? I don't see anyway to get the ball out to replace it..

Nope, you just replace the centering ball.
