Default shift linkage help

90xj with 6" lift on 33's. 4x4 gear selector keeps popping out of linkage at t-case-I replaced the bushings, but it appears to be at an odd angle since lift. Anyone have this issue or an idea on correction?

Lift height doesn't change a thing. You have a tcase drop? How are your motor and tranny mounts?

Holy jeez. You need to get yourself a sye dude. 2" drop is no beuno. There's a small adjustment built into the linkage but I doubt you'll be able to get it 100% with a 2" tcase drop.

just googled it and only see how or why its necessary for driveline vibration...but I dont have that problem. And I still didnt see how that would help the angle of the linkage

Bc you'll be able to get rid of the drop, which is terrible for your drivetrain sitting at such a steep angle. You're gonna need to get a longer rod or make a linkage with heims to get it working correctly the way it is now, the stock linkage isn't made to work with such a steep drop. Google upgrade 231 linkage, there was few good write ups for making your own, it's all bolt together stuff.
