You should be fine engaging at that speed, just be SURE you are off the throttle and front and rear axles are spinning at a common speed. If not...wallet damage ensues!

Just recently in my '02 I had to engage mine to get up to speed on an I80 onramp...I let off, shifted at ~35-40 and carried on my way.

Also, let off the throttle to shift out of 4wd...helps the front axle to disengage more easily.
