shifting into 4wd

i'm going to need 4WD this weekend, big snowstorm, so heading north.  The shifter for 4 wheel drive was very stiff (auto hubs).  It engaged fine, but I could only test it briefly...didn't want to take any turns on the pavement.  Granted I do not use 4 wheel a lot, but it's never been that much effort to engage 4 wheel.  Is there a linkage that I can spray or is this a lubrication issue at the hubs?

That's probably the linkage behind the transmission on the left side. There is a ball and spring arrangement that "indexes" inside the transfer case that never seems to get serviced. I would give a shot of some spray grease or other lube on the linkage joints, that should be a big help.
