Then separate rocker switches power them up for 4wd & low separately. It should be a trouble free setup. The main thing to figure out is travel required & the pounds of push/pull it takes for shifting and choosing the right size of cylinders.
Great idea...just don't accidently shift into 4 wheel drive w/o the hubs engaged while moving. That would be really hard on gears.
