i put it in 4wd and the shifter just pops right back out..think it could be my hubs not locking fully? my passerenger side hub is hard to lock in or do you think it could be something else

not trying to be stupid here but, do you have a manual trans? Is it only popping out when shifting gears? If so, your trans shifter could be hitting the 4wd shifter knocking it out of 4wd.
I know some of these are different and the transfer case shifter could be located slightly different than what mine is.
But because my shifter bushings and seats in both the transfer case and transmission shifters are sloppy, when I am in 4lo and I shift from 1st to 2nd it will knock my transfer case shifter out of 4wd.
On some, I believe it's reverse that will knock the two shifters together. just not sure which one you have or even if I am correct.

Pull up the shifter boot and see if it is binding the shifter. Two things can happen, one is the rubber boot can get stuck between shifter and base plate metal and push it out of gear (like a tennis ball between the shifter and floor). 2nd option is that the rubber boot can get stretched and pull back on the shifter (think of a bungee cord between the shifter and the dash). Relative body/drive train motion while driving plus the built up rubber tension can pop it out of gear.

I have a body lift also and it makes it difficult for 4low to stay in gear. 4 high is not a problem. What happens is the shaft of the shifter hits the base plate and wont let it full engage the gear. I think it's your shifter base plate, just cut it to fit or take it off first and see if the problem goes away.
The detent ball should be easy to take out. Look on trail-gears website for the dual shifter install. I'm pretty sure that's the spring you need to replace if it is the problem.

IMO warns are overrated on the toy's. But they are better than most other aftermarket one's. IE MileMarker. The warn hubs for the Ford's they are the best out there. As long as they are the ones that have the 7/8 engagement not the 1/4 turn engagement.

You need to chase the threads...
Find a long bolt with the PROPER size and pitch and grind a small groove down it, parallel to the bolt.

It'll work like a charm... A free charm...
I find it hard to believe they're stripped... BUT, I have bought every truck in EVERY state of repair, and from every douche bag with an adjustable wrench before...
If it's one thing I've learned, it's anything's possible...
PS, AISIN's are better, cheaper and stronger... But it's a free country. Do whatever you feel is necessary.
