The transfer case shift lever's shift rod likely simply pulled out of adjustment. There's a bolt with a 1/2" head that holds it in adjustment, it's circled in red below. Loosening that bolt to allow the rod to be slid back into place in the bracket the bolt is screwed through will likely fix it. If you look at the rod closely you'll probably see a dimple in it where the bolt originally held it in place.

In the mean time you should be able to use a pair of pliers to shift the tcase back into gear via that small vertical lever you can see in the photo just slightly above and to the right of the bolt.

That's what happens with 35's on a Dana 35. If you want to keep running 35's install a Super 35 kit from Revolution Gear & Axle.
