You could always raise the shock mount axle side. Something like this:



Took me maybe 2 hours to do both sides. Used scrap tube and a couple bucks worth of hardware. If you don't have a welder:

Wow!! So far it's amazing. I haven't noticed it once in 2wd running around town. It engages the minute I'm in 4wd and worked perfect. So nice having both my front tires pulling me.
