What did you use to extend the breather tubes? Also, when doing deep water crossings, is there any other precautions you take for the rest of the drive-train, electronics, etc.? Since I got my snorkel I have been taking the XK in deeper mud holes but I'm wary of how deep is too deep.

I only extended the rear breather as the front breather goes all the way up to the nut that bolts the strut in. All I did was take off the rear breather hose and took it to a local auto parts store and go the same size hose about 3 1/2 feet long. I ran the hose into the passenger side inner fender well above the wheel well liner at the highest point. To do this I had to remove the plastic liner. I used a bracket and two self taping screws to hold it in place at the end of the hose where the breather valve is. Once you put the plastic liner back in it hold the rest of the hose in place. Cost about $6 and now the breather is about 45 inches off the ground. Keep in mind I'm running 4 inch Superlift rear springs and 34 inch tires so the height where it's located will be higher than if you located it in the same spot.Originally Posted by psycho787
As far as how deep of water you can go in all depends. Again I'm sitting higher than someone with a 2 inch lift and 265's.

Lookin' good, thanks for the how-to on the breather lines, I'll definitely be doin this mod soon. Whats your overall height in the front and rear after the tires and spring change? I have been pondering running this setup in the rear, as I'm already at 38" up front with worn down 265's, making the rear quite un-level.

It's hard to say on the front because I cut about an inch all the way around on the fender flares but if I measure the front to where I cut I'm at 39". In the rear I'm right at 40". In the spring I'm going to do something similar to what Matt is doing with the adjustable bilstein struts and OME MD springs. Waiting to see how much height he gets out of his setup. I'd like the front up about another 1/2-3/4 inch more.

Btw if I didn't cut an inch off the front flare prior to installing the rear Superlift springs my jeep would probably look ridiculous with the rear a lot higher than the front. But due to me trimming the flare it makes it not look as bad. Keep in mind all I have up front is the OME struts and HD coils. I love how it looks right now but once I redo the front suspension it will look good with the front a little higher.

Yeah. I just want that little extra gear for the hills. I know going from 3.73's to 4.10's won't be that much of a difference but for $750 I think it will be worth it. If I had to pay for install I wouldn't even bother
