axle seals

Are my front axle seals okay even if water gets in to my differential when I go through a deep hole? My vent tube has already been raised. will new dust caps and Or axle seals keep water out?

Just remember that the seals not only keep water, etc, out, they keep the diff oil in. If they aren't leaking now, allowing oil to escape, no reason to believe that water could get in.
I would think the vent still isn't high enough. You could add a one way valve or anti siphon too.
