Shifting from park into gear is difficult , have to press down hard on brake

What is your question?

Truck starts and runs fine. Shifting from Park into gear I have to press brake pedal down extremely hard , then it will go into gear. Brake lights come on with minimal brake pedal. I have been given 2 recommendations. Brake light stop switch ( if brake lights don't come on easily ) or shift lock actuator.

What makes this problem better or worse?

Pressing down hard on brake pedal allows me to shift from park into gear

How long has your 2003 Ford F-350 Super Duty had this problem?

A couple weeks, shortly after changing front brakes and rotors
