4WD linkage not long enough after body lift...

[35Remmy]

Ok, so I installed a 2” body lift on my 88 Ranger years ago. It has sat as a project for some time and I’m starting to work on her again. Problem is, the 4WD linkage attached to the floor shifter is now too short to reach the shift lever on the Borg Warner 1350 transfer case....it is a manual case. Any ideas besides having someone lengthen this linkage? I cannot weld.

There are extensions made for this, one model seen here: http://zoneoffroad.com/zone-offroad-products-body-lift-shift-extension-ford-ranger/f9802

The pivot point distance is longer so the part in the cab will need to move farther forward and back than it did before
