The shop that installed my lift initially forgot to adjust the 4wd arm or transfer case arm so I didn’t have 4low it was adjusted today it would go into it but after a minute of off roading it would partially slip out I tried to get under it and adjust it further but I have no luck would this be the case where yall would recommend a slip yoke eliminator to raise the transfer case back up or what would you recommend for this situation (any tips or solutions may help since i just put 33's on so could that be another factor to it?)

Was a body lift installed? And are you referring to a belly pan spacer drop when you say "raise the transfer case back up"? Any other mods?
 
Sounds like a transfercase drop was installed to alleviate the driveline vibrations caused by the lift kit.
Depending upon how much drop was installed; the shifter lever can be at an abrupt angle causing 4LO to not fully engage.
Installation of a SYE would certainly be an option to restore the location of the transfercase.
There is also a SAAVY transfercase shifter cable kit that alleviates shifter linkage problems, but I have heard that purchasing items from SAAVY may be difficult. Not sure if they have gone out of business or not....
You might be able to purchase this kit thru @mrblaine

Thanks for the mention but I have none of those for sale. Best way to get them I've seen is from Amazon if they are still there.

a 3.25 inch rough country lift was installed and the belly pan was dropped with the spacers that came with the lift . Only mods that have been on since problem started is 33,s which got put on two days ago and a lift i had put several months ago

could be because even 4 high had a slight issue popping in but once it was in it was solid.
