Default 4x4 Problems

I have a 05 f150 supercrew 5.4 Liter. I have decent tires on it and i always get stuck in the snow or dirt. I shift into 4x4 High and it doesnt go anywhere then i go into low. It says its engaged but the i always get stuck. The rear passager side moves but the others dont. Is there a relay or something that im missing. Any feedback will be appreciated

How can you tell if your engaged? You should feel the steering stiff?

It felt like it was engaged on dry pavement but I was on a flat surface and I still couldn't move even in 4x4. I'm so frustered

Yea. Make a slight turn. You'll know!
