IDK what trans you've got Reader, but I'd look into swapping in a manual Tcase from a '90-97 RBV. They'll have the 1310 adaptor already there....but you CANNOT go wrong with a manual tcase. 4wd anytime, all the time. And you can get it in and out of 4L faster than the next guy with the switch can get it into 4H.
bighair: 90-97's are all 1310. 1330 is rear shaft stuff from '98 on. Back to the front, the 1350 cases found in '89 and earlier are spline shafts.

What...you can't get off the throttle, pull the stick back, then get back on the throttle?? Are you telling me I was doing it all wrong!?!?!?? lol. I never seemed to have any issues shifting at speed before I blew the case in half along with the trans mainshaft...
EDIT: *****.....you auto guys really do have it nice....
not. lol.

die grinder or plasma cutter.
3 inches you will run into trouble.
BTW guys you can shift a manual tcase on the fly too, only concern is your hubs, make sure they are locked. PVH this wont work on but live axle or locked hubs it will. I shift in and out while in the throttle too. It works just fine, you just cant be spinning the rear tires and expect the fronts to catch up. Assuming the front and rear and running virtually the same speed it will engage without issue.
Most people seem to think you cant shift in and out of 4wd at or above 55mph, this is also false, assuming like I stated above you can shift in and out of 4wd at any rate of speed. Ive engaged 4wd around 80mph before.

So i adjusted my front syspention. I lifted it another 3 inches to level it out and it still bottoms out over every little bump. I am starting to think that my coils are to soft. They are supposed to be for a XJ or Jeep grand cherokee. What is everyone else running for coils. I am thinking of running 5.5 F-150 coils. What does everyone else think.

they are way too soft IMO. We put F150 coils, superflex 4" coils on his and the ride is great, and it really handles the weight so much better.
