my brother in law got stuck saturday in his 2500 hd with 35s and 4wheel drive would not engage it does have a 3in body lift from the po. im thinkin the body lift binded the 4wheel drive shifter it said it was in 4x4 but the front tires didnt trun and the back tires were spinning we had to use a tractor to pull it out and the front tires acted like they were locked up. and it also grinded really bad when he was tryin to put it in 4x4. on level ground it would engage into 4wheel hi but not low what do yall think?

The body lift could be causing the shift linkage to bind, I had that problem before removing my body lift. The front axle actuator (mounted on the right side of the front differential) is also a common failure. It sounds like the transfer case itself wasn't fully engaged judging by the grinding sounds. Check the linkage first, especially when off-camber and the frame is twisted up.
