Nancy, grab a bat, hammer or other blunt tool and beat the snot out of one of the tire treds. It will make you feel a lot better without wrecking anything that cost $$ to replace.
I am not sure if a 96 still has the thermal actuator to lock the front axle in 4WD, but if it does, they were a major PITA that often took up to two minutes after you put it in 4WD to lock the axle. The conversion to the motorized actuator makes a totally different truck out of them, which shifts to 4WD in under 5 seconds.
If yours still has the slow thermal actuator, then you need the motorized actuator, and the spacer and wiring harness adapter. I converted mine (92 model)2 years ago and think it is well worth it. I also looked at that manual cable operated conversion, but was afraid that in freezing temps, ice might lock it either in or out of 4WD. Coming from the guy who declared that this 92 Chevy is the worst piece of crap I have ever owned, I must say that front axle actuator conversion is an absolute joy to use compared to the thermal actuator.
