most likely you may just have to adjust ur t-case shift rod. there is a 13mm head bolt just loosen that and lengthen the rod a little

X2 I had the same problem with mine.. Some of them have an allen type screw in them but most have the 13 mm bolt..

Connected to the shifter linkage, going into the t-case.

No. Crawl under your jeep and its the only rod connected to the transfer case.Should look similar to this.

C.A.D. should look like this! It may have 2 lines. Common failure part and with a lift may have become unplugged or loose.
