Axle vent tubes

[KELLY88]

Where is a good place to run these things? The rear tube line runs up to the top of the frame rail, is that high enough? Also the front sits real low. Where's a good place to run this tube without it interfering with the front driveshaft or other rotating accessories and be safe from heat? It's a 97 4.0 Supercab with the 8.8 rear and Dana 35 TTB up front with a 4" lift. Anybody relocate these tubes for muddin and know a good place?

i ran the rear tube up to the bottom of the bed and had the open end point down so nothing could fall in to it. the front diff hose i ran it up through the motor compartment/ fender well and it sits about as high as the head lights. it really all depends on how deep of water you are going in, make them as long as you want. the front one keep out of harms way, from hot things and or moveing parts. good luck.

For the rear, some people run them up by the tail lights. For the front, some people run them into the air box. Depends on what you want to do/how deep your going.

The rear looks like it its ok being run up to the bottom of the tail bed. I ended up running the front outside the frame rail and up into the engine compartment, attaching it at a downward angle to the hose between the carbon box and purge control solenoid. Its much higher than the air intake and should hopefully be safe from any excessive heat. Thanks for the ideas guys.
