I would just worry about the front and rear diff. for the transmission if you get in that deep of water you will want to change all your fuilds. aslo you cant raise the tranny one unless you want it in the cab but then youll always smell like tranny fluid or gear oil.
The rear and front are most important

if you check the top of your rear axle, there should be a nob, or button type thing just sitting there by its self and its called a diff breather, it is what releases pressure from you diff if there is a build up, but it can sometimes let water in,so you extend it.

To extend your breathers you just need to remove your breather and add in an grease gun hose. it works mint i did it to mine when I used it more as a trail rig.
also have seen it done with an air line extension

2 brake line fittings - with the barbed end and some rubber line and a couple of hose clamps - will do both front and rear for under $30.00 - did mine a year or so ago - front was a challange in the truck, but it is do-able.....

My front is extended. Many others are. You do it for the exact same reason you do the rear. To prevent an inflow of water. Doesn't make sense to do one and not the other.
