Default What TC linkage should I get?

I'm in the market for a replacement transfer case linkage for my 98. The current linkage is bent and won't shift into 4L. I've heard about Novak from Bleepin Jeep and others and I'm leaning towards that, but I'm open to suggestions at this point.

I have the boostwerks shift linkage. Works so much better than stock.

I have the same thing minus the arm. Much more stable.

What do you mean by "minus the arm"? Isn't the arm required?

I did just check out their product and it seems well designed and at a price I can justify a little better.

It means I had mine long before theirs were produced. Same parts as theirs.

I have looked at both units and ended up buying the Novak, all I can say is it does work very smooth without any glitches and have not had to readjust since it was installed.

I went ahead and ordered the boostwerks linkage as it was more in my price range.

Installed 2 of them, can't beat them for the price. Shifts a lot smoother and is just a stupid simple design.
