why? are you seriously going to drive your truck through water that is that deep? If you do, then you probably have a lot more things to worry about than just the air supply. I have a lifted wrangler that I 4 wheel the crap out of and I have never sucked in water. I was going to install a snorkel kit on it just to be safe, but after some research, I realized that it is pointless, unless you also waterproof every compartment in your engine. If you don't then you'll still run a very high risk of seizing up your engine or frying your computer system if you really try to cross water that is above your air intake... unless your rockin diesel.

No i'm not getting it for the reason of not sucking water. I'm getting it for the added performance. Not only does it act as a actual "cold" air intake it keeps it much cleaner especially since i'm around alot of dirt roads. A performance air intake pulls air out of the engine compartment a snorkel will pull in fresh air. THere's no way in hell i would put my truck in that much water... terrible idea. I wanna get an old CJ for that.
