Default Axle breather extension

I am planning on installing a snorkel in the near future, and I know it is basically a necessity to extend the axle breathers as well. My question is: Are there any other things that will need to be extended/modified? Or are extending the axle breathers it?

Thanks!

Extending the breathers is for lifted jk's so when they flex out the hose doesn't rip off the axles... As for water clearance there are the axles and tranny and transfer case i do believe as well

Transmission and transfer case aren't a bad Idea either...

Transfer breather is located on the backside of engine (middle) about 3-4" down. It's much easier to just pull the breather right off and pull the hose down and extend from there. As for the Trans breather, there isn't much you can do with it as far as relocating. I'd personally leave that one alone. It's located in shifter assembly and if you have that much water in your cab, I'd say that's the least of your worries....

Ok thanks. It seems like I might just go ahead and do the transfer case and axle breathers, and maybe look into what it will take to extend the transmission breathers and see if it is worth it.
