I've had a 2" body lift on 4runner for several years now and find the Transfercase has a tendency to pop out of low lock, now I know this is common due to stock shifter boots and minimal throw space.
I'm just questioning whether to install a 'short throw' shifter to minimize 'pop out' or install a 'Dual shifter' to minimize and give me more transfer case shift options.

Thanks for taking the time to help out, DanS

order the twin stick Dan, then just trim a little metal around the body where the boot goes so it doesnt bump the shifter when in 4 low

you will LOVE being able to shift to 2lo

If your budget is tight, a short shifter kit is likely less money. I ran a twin stick on my 85 truck and have a brand new one for my 89 4Runner and while it is nice, I'm not sure it is worth the price on a tight budget. Most of the time when I want to shift into 2wd for turning everything is bound up and it won't come out of 4wd anyways.

just buy the spring kit, it will make it stay in 4low. I put it in all my toy tcases even when doing dual cases.

I have the short throw on both cases on a 85 with 3" body lift and love it

Poll

Would you install a short throw transfercase shifter or a transfercase 'Dual shifter' on a stock 85 4Runner?
