    You must go back to nuetral ...go into 4lo fully....then switch to 4hi while it is still in nuetral

    Sounds like 4-lo didn’t engage that was the beeping. Switched back to 4-hi which should be normal cause the computer won’t let it go into low if you’re not in neutral. I’m not sure why you can’t move now though. Does the truck feel like it’s in neutral and just revs? Or does it feel like it’s in gear but the parking brakes on

    Sometimes giving the steering wheel a shake will do the trick

    Either he broke something or didn’t know how to work the 4WD system.

    Unknown lift, maybe 2" I don't know how to ID it, and would rather set it back to stock.
    Any updates on this?
