troubles with 4x4

i just picked up my '86 bronco (new to bronco but so far i love it!) this weekend and while i was playing with it i noticed i cant get it to go past 4hi. is there something wrong with the transfercase or would it be a linkage? when i pull back on the lever it feels like something is catching...

Back and toward you (to the left a bit)... the low range has that extra move necessary so you don't just grab it and slam low range. Make sure you are stopped or in neutral... its easier to engage that way.
