It sounds like your linkage needs cleaning and some lube.
also make sure your cab hasn't moved around and prevents the shifter from moving all the way in.

You should not have to push down on the lever.

Crawl under and look at the linkage. There should be an adjusting nut on the threaded rod. When you try to put in 4L see if adjusting the linkage would allow more travel of the shift rod.
