Now we are getting somewhere. The front driver's side wheel is a main
drive wheel when in 4x4.

You really need to go under and see if you can adjust the shifter
lever. It is very likely you cannot do this without an additional
linkage piece.

Most body lift kits for YJ's anyway come with this extension linkage
piece for the shifter.

On the last 3" body lift I helped 'lower', we had to take this extension
out so it would shift with the 1.5" lift we left in. I simply cut the
hex spacers in half and we gave the other half to another Jeeper from
this group so they both have 1.5" lifts.

To adjust the t-case shift lever on a stock setup, you pull it all the
way back and to the side into 4 low, then put a spacer like a 1/8" drill
bit between the shifter and the gate or stop bar, then adjust the rod so
the t-case lever is all the way into 4 low.

If you cannot do this, you need an extension for the rod.
