Make sure you dump your diff oil after you go that high.

check your other fluids as well. crawl under your vehicle sometime, and follow the breather hoses. they don't go very far. yeah, they usually have the cheap little "one way" valves, but they dont seal 100%.

also be weary of wheel bearings. on my old '98 ranger 4x4 (3" lift, 33's), i fried the hub/bearing assembly a few times, but i also went through water that washed over the hood (lost my "bow wave"). got pretty good at changing dang near every oil.

If you maintain the right speed you'll push a swell in front of the truck and you will follow right behind it in the trough. The water will also part around the tires and keep the wheel bearings and diff. seals from getting wet if its not too deep.
