So.. I installed my 1.25" JKS body lift a while back and didn't really read the instructions as thorough as I should have. When I lifted it, I was more concerned with the radiator shroud and the motor mount lift than the transfer case linkage.
So, I'm hearing this whiring sound (almost like a fan hitting something) underneath the jeep at low speeds (that stop when the vehicle rolls to a stop) and it slips out of 4wd sometimes. I'm assuming it's because the linkage isn't set right. Now, that it's after the fact, what is the correct way to set that linkage? I get that I should have loosened it prior to the lift and then tightened it to avoid this problem. Oops. I'm getting ready to hit the road with it and I'd like to do it before the trip just to make sure I'm not hurting anything.
Also, I have a 6-speed transmission that keeps popping out of reverse. I assume it's not related to the lift, but thought I'd throw it out there incase there was something I could adjust on that too while I'm under it tomorrow.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
